Summary

[edit]
Description
English: An Iraqi explosives ordnance disposal officer looks out at the immense task before him and his men May 7, 2006 at Camp Habbiniyah, as the Iraqi Bomb Disposal Company works with its American counterparts to clean up an ammunition supply point (ASP) last used by Saddam Hussein’s regime. Mortars, rockets and various other munitions were strewn about when the bunkers were bombed in the initial invasion. Acres of twisted, rusty metal peppered with live munitions are all that remain. The ordnance must be cleared from the area to make the ASP safe again for future use. The Americans are developing their counterparts in the Iraqi Army’s 1st Division. The 1st Marine Logistics Group’s EOD Company here stays busy responding to 15 – 25 calls daily, in addition to training the Iraqis, who have already received three months of training from American contractors who taught them basic unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war reduction, cache disposal and minefield operations. The Americans are helping the Iraqis refine the skills they need to negate the threat after Coalition Forces leave, said Jeremy, a Navy EOD officer.
