During 1961, this unit responded to many calls
from Law Enforcement and Civil Defense Officials for
assistance in disposal of ammunition and explosives
hazarding their community. Both military ammunition
and commercial -type explosives were involved; many
of the items checked were hazardous and could have
inflicted death or severe injury to unwary persons.
As a group, Americans are the greatest souvenir
collectors in the world; no one knows how many explo-
sive- loaded souvenir hand grenades, rockets, mortar
shells, eto., are to be found in homes in your area.
Along with being collectors, Americans are quite
curious. Curiousity with regard to explosive items
often leads to death.
Under Department of Defense Joint Service Agree-
ment, the United States Army is responsible for the
safe disposal of all unexploded explosive items which
are not on Air Force or Navy property. To perform
this work, the US Army has small highly trained explo-
sive disposal units throughout the United States.
The 47th Ordnance Detachment (ED), Fort Hood, Texas,
provides disposal service to your area. This service
includes:
(1) The safe disposal of all unexploded military
items of an explosive nature.
(2) Rendering assistance (on request) to civil
authorities when commercial explosives are an immediate
hazard to human life or property. w
(3) Conducting courses of instruction for civil-
ians.
The above service is provided FREE to civil auth-
ority. Commercial firms and profit - making enterprises
such as junk dealers, may avail themselves of this
service at cost.
