What is the MK 2(G) used for?

• A. Anti-Submarine Targets
• B. Debris Removal
• C. Influence Mines
• D. Surface Mines

Answer: (C)

Influence mines are designed to be triggered by external fields such as magnetic, acoustic, or pressure signatures rather than by direct contact. The MK 2(G) is a device set up to mimic an influence mine, letting AMCM forces train and test sensor systems, detection methods, and neutralization procedures against that kind of threat in a safe, controlled way. It lets crews practice identifying and dealing with influence mine signatures without handling actual warheads or live ordnance. The other options describe different tasks or targets—anti-submarine targets simulate submarines for ASW, debris removal is about clearing clutter, and surface mines are a different class of mine requiring other methods—so they don’t fit the purpose of this device.
