The military training and testing programs that occurred across America during World War II are an important part of our history that contributed immeasurably to our national defense. This legacy may have also resulted in potentially dangerous munitions being left behind. Most of these are buried underground, but over time, it is possible some may be unearthed and pose a safety hazard. As important as our past military activities were to securing our peace, it is just as important to ensure a safe environment for our future and our children. Should you see something that you suspect may be munitions, please follow the 3Rs of explosives safety: Recognize when you may have encountered a munition, and that munitions are dangerous. Retreat: do not touch, move or disturb it, but carefully leave the area, noting the location. Report: the object to local law enforcement by calling 911. Your safety is important to all of us at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
