Which statement about the SMAW's rocket types is true?

• A. Dual mode rocket for bunkers and fortifications; HEAA rockets for tanks
• B. HEAA rockets for bunkers; Dual mode rocket for tanks
• C. Dual mode rocket for all targets
• D. Small-arms ammunition for infantry

Answer: (A)

Two SMAW rocket types are designed for different targets. The dual-mode rocket is built for bunkers and fortifications, providing a combination of effects that can breach walls and damage hardened structures. The HEAA rocket—High-Explosive Anti-Armor—is tailored to defeat armored targets such as tanks, using an armor-piercing capability along with a powerful blast. So the statement that the dual-mode rocket is used against bunkers and fortifications while HEAA rockets are used against tanks is the best fit, because it reflects how each warhead is optimized for a different threat. The other options mix up these roles or mention ammunition that isn’t part of the SMAW’s rocket system.
