Which AFSC subdivision performs maintenance on a nuclear weapon?

• A. 2W3 (Nuclear safety)
• B. 2W1 (aircraft armament systems)
• C. 2W0 (Munitions Systems)
• D. 2W2 (Nuclear Weapons)

Answer: (D)

Maintenance of a nuclear weapon requires a dedicated maintenance specialty due to the specialized handling, safety, and arming/fuzing processes involved. The Nuclear Weapons specialty is responsible for maintaining, inspecting, and configuring nuclear weapons and the related equipment. This is distinct from conventional munitions (Munitions Systems), weapon systems on aircraft (Aircraft Armament Systems), and safety oversight (Nuclear Safety). Therefore, the subdivision tasked with nuclear weapon maintenance is the Nuclear Weapons specialty.
