USACE Safety Message on Explosives

Old military munitions remain from the days of World War II when much of our nation was undeveloped and used by the military for training, testing and demonstrations. Even though these munitions are old, they may still be dangerous. Although these munitions are generally buried, some may occasionally appear on the surface of the ground. If you should see something you think may be munitions, please follow the three R's of explosive safety. RECOGNIZE: Do not touch or move it. RETREAT: Move away from the object, noting its location. REPORT: Call 911 to inform local law enforcement.
