On the back of a truck, ammunition is stored in what?

• A. M777A2 equipment
• B. Ammunition crate
• C. Loose Projectile Restraint System (LPRS)
• D. Field Artillery Projectile Pallet (FAPP)

Answer: (C)

Securing ammunition during transport is essential to prevent movement that could cause damage or detonation. On the back of a truck, the system designed to do this is a Loose Projectile Restraint System. It is built to hold each round in place and limit shifting during movement, braking, or rough terrain, using restraints that keep projectiles from contacting each other or the vehicle. This reduces the risk of accidental movement or damage while in transit. While ammo can be placed in crates or on pallets, those methods don’t inherently immobilize loose rounds in the vehicle bed the way the restraint system does. The other options refer to weapon-specific gear or pallet systems, not the device that physically secures loose projectiles in the truck bed.
