Spoiled Soil, Eddie Banks
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
While it is necessary to remove explosive items from the land to facilitate repatriation, reconstruction and rehabilitation, it is crucial that, in undertaking this action, the soil structure is not inadvertently damaged, creating short-, medium- and long-term problems for agriculture, and in particular, the sustainable farming that supports vulnerable communities.
Adopt-A-Team: Adopt-A-Minefield® Responds To The Situation In Afghanistan, Megan Burke
Adopt-A-Team: Adopt-A-Minefield® Responds To The Situation In Afghanistan, Megan Burke
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Afghanistan is considered one of the most mine-affected countries in the world. This is the sad legacy of 23 years of near-continuous war—first against Soviet occupiers, then between rival Afghan factions. The majority of the population has not experienced a time of peace in their lives. According to the United Nations, between 150 and 300 people are injured or killed every month due to landmines or UXO. Seventy percent of those accidents involve civilians—many of whom are returning refugees or internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Low-Profile Disposal Of U.S. Ordnance, Frederick L. Barthold
Low-Profile Disposal Of U.S. Ordnance, Frederick L. Barthold
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
The mission was simple enough; monitor air operations at Thumrate bombing range from a safe distance, locate ordnance that did not detonate, ensure a positive identification of said ordnance and ensure a complete disposal of said ordnance is accomplished with the lowest profile possible. Oh, if life could be so easy! The ordnance: MK82, 500-pound bombs using M904E point detonating nose fuzing with a M990 series, inertia tail fuze back-up, and GBU-10, laser guided bombs (MK84) with a MK346 electric tail fuze. What normally would have been a “blow-n-go” operation took a brutal turn for the worse when a herd …
