(2) The SDZ requirements for firing the mine-clearing line charge with M68 inert charge are provided in figure 15–2. (3) Distance X takes into account the most probable event of charge or cable separation or an unrestrained rocket motor impacting downrange. (4) If the detonation command link severs during a charge or cable separation, detonation of the HE charge will not occur. (5) The fragmentation zone required for the HE charge is for containment of fragments and debris of a normal mine- clearing line charge impact. (6) Mine-clearing line charges will not be destroyed by burning. They contain booster charges that detonate when exposed to heat or pressure. Misfired or dud line charges will be destroyed by EOD personnel only after all misfire procedures have been performed by the firing unit. 186 DA PAM 385–63 • 16 April 2014
