Which is NOT a listed use of military pyrotechnics?

• A. Illumination
• B. Signaling
• C. Simulation of battle noises and effects
• D. Harassment via live fire

Answer: (D)

Military pyrotechnics are used to create light, smoke, or controlled sounds to support training and operations without firing live weapons. Illumination devices provide light for visibility at night, signaling devices convey information across distance, and training can use pyrotechnic effects to simulate battlefield noises and explosions. Harassment via live fire, by contrast, involves using actual weapons to deliver projectiles and direct fire, which falls outside the realm of pyrotechnic effects. So that option isn’t a listed use of military pyrotechnics.
