Explosives clearing goes underground at Arnold AFB
A Bay West crew prepares to perforate an inert 3-inch Stokes mortar found on Arnold AFB as part of a demonstration exercise March 6. Bay West routinely uses explosive charges on unexploded ordnance found beneath the surface of the earth south of Wattendorf Highway and east of UTSI road in an area the Army used as a practice area in the 1940s. The ordnance is placed in a hole and covered with sandbags to lessen the impact on the surrounding area, and then the pieces are recovered. (Photo by Patrick Ary)
