When can you destruction of a UXO munitions?

Combat? Peacetime?
I’ll take a stab...

18 Series: only in designated hazardous duty operations, in peacetime (and I read that as not in a combat zone) call EOD. Let me know Goat!


I do recall working with (and this is no Sh!t) a Polish Engineer Company to clear an area for their BN compound in Kosovo. It was formerly a large Serbian AA gun emplacement and the zoomies dropped every kind of ordinance they had on it. The place was covered in UXO, we originally called in an EOD team but when they looked at it they said it would take them a year to clear it and we should move somewhere else. We cleared it in less than 2 weeks ...it was the scariest yet most amusing event I think I ever took part of! We sure did go thru lots of demo …I think we used up the Pol-Bats whole allotment for the entire deployment.
