🔍 Key Concepts

• Damage control shoring basics – what shoring is designed to do structurally • Difference between correcting distortion vs holding existing structure • How wooden shoring reacts to pressure and movement on a damaged bulkhead or frame

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is wooden shoring meant to move metal back where it belongs, or to keep it from moving further? • Which option best matches the idea of providing support and stability rather than forcing something back into place? • If a bulkhead is already damaged, what is the safest role for shoring: to reshape it or to hold it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answers talk about forcing or moving a bulkhead versus supporting/holding it • Think about what could happen if you tried to push a warped or sprung bulkhead back using wooden shores—would that be safe and controlled? • Recall standard DC doctrine: shoring is primarily for support and reinforcement, not for realigning major structure under stress
