Demilitarization should, to the greatest extent possible, process MDAS until it no longer looks ________.

• A. Like a harmless object
• B. Like a toy
• C. Like a scrap metal
• D. Like a munition item

Answer: (D)

Demilitarization aims to strip away identifying features so the item cannot be recognized as a munition. The goal is to render the object unidentifiable as a munition to prevent misuse, misidentification, or unsafe handling. Therefore, the process should continue until it no longer resembles a munition item. If it still looked like a harmless object, a toy, or scrap metal, there could still be confusion or misidentification, which keeps risk higher. By removing the appearance of a munition altogether, safety and regulatory requirements are better satisfied.
