• B. DAFMAN 91-221, Weapons Safety Investigations and Reports

Answer: (B)

Flag words used to trigger reporting are defined in the publication that governs weapons safety investigations and their reporting. This Department of the Air Force Manual for Weapons Safety Investigations and Reports lays out the exact criteria, procedures, and expectations for when a condition, event, or information must be reported and how investigations are to be conducted. It provides the authoritative guidance on what constitutes a reportable item and how the flag words are applied in practice to ensure consistent reporting across units. The other publications cover broader safety programs or different reporting frameworks and do not contain the specific flag-word criteria for weapons safety reporting.
