00:10.940 --> 00:13.630
the periodic boom heard by residents on

00:13.640 --> 00:16.370
L . S . Anaconda can be deafening but

00:16.380 --> 00:18.602
thanks to the controlled detonations of

00:18.602 --> 00:20.547
the three 32nd explosive ordinance

00:20.547 --> 00:23.170
disposal flight . It's not deadly . The

00:23.170 --> 00:25.337
controlled detonations are the L . D .

00:25.337 --> 00:27.500
Flight rendering safe explosive

00:27.510 --> 00:29.420
ordinance on or off post that may

00:29.420 --> 00:31.880
threaten coalition forces or the local

00:31.880 --> 00:34.050
population . Master sergeant Michael

00:34.050 --> 00:36.480
Pitts is the E . O . D . Resources in

00:36.480 --> 00:38.424
see , oh I see the small amount of

00:38.424 --> 00:40.480
explosive inside with a small little

00:40.480 --> 00:42.647
bridge wire and when electricity comes

00:42.647 --> 00:45.300
down both lines of this wire it heats

00:45.300 --> 00:48.580
up cause the explosives go off , which

00:48.580 --> 00:50.247
detonates at a very high rate

00:50.247 --> 00:52.290
controlled detonations . Get rid of

00:52.300 --> 00:54.244
ordinance ranging from an unstable

00:54.244 --> 00:56.610
ammunition , rockets , grenades and

00:56.610 --> 00:59.040
insurgent ammunition caches . Senior

00:59.040 --> 01:01.900
airman Ryan Nancy explains . We are

01:01.910 --> 01:04.250
getting rid of a stockpile of

01:04.260 --> 01:06.730
unserviceable munitions and take up

01:06.730 --> 01:10.380
space and be a possibly hazardous

01:10.390 --> 01:13.180
if say the base were to be attacked

01:13.190 --> 01:17.100
and it worked to like

01:17.100 --> 01:19.700
say a mortar where to strike a context

01:19.710 --> 01:22.110
full of backlog of unserviceable

01:22.110 --> 01:25.860
munitions . Um It could start a pretty

01:25.860 --> 01:27.630
bad chain of events . Safety

01:27.630 --> 01:29.797
precautions ensure that the only thing

01:29.797 --> 01:31.840
being tested is the post response

01:31.840 --> 01:33.670
system , whether storing enemy

01:33.670 --> 01:36.380
munitions or the tools . Following the

01:36.380 --> 01:38.830
safety guidelines is critical . Even

01:38.830 --> 01:40.886
though we are in Iraq , we are still

01:40.886 --> 01:43.052
maintaining all the Army Air Force and

01:43.052 --> 01:45.163
dont stand first close the storage to

01:45.163 --> 01:47.163
make sure that we're safe back here

01:47.163 --> 01:49.330
performing a controlled detonation off

01:49.330 --> 01:51.460
post presents added safety concerns

01:51.640 --> 01:53.880
hardened vehicles and eel the equipment

01:53.890 --> 01:56.390
provide the technician protection while

01:56.390 --> 01:58.450
they might sleep may be disturbed .

01:58.460 --> 02:01.260
Residents may rest easy knowing that

02:01.260 --> 02:03.050
dangerous ammunition for enemy

02:03.050 --> 02:05.600
explosives are being countered safely

02:05.610 --> 02:08.090
by a controlled detonation , reporting

02:08.090 --> 02:10.210
for the 2/10 in pad and the 13th

02:10.210 --> 02:12.266
