JOINT BASE CAPE COD, Mass. -- Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) makes great progress mitigating past environmental impacts while increasing military training capabilities, earning them a 2020 First Place Award from the Secretary of the Army for Environmental Restoration (Installation). Camp Edwards has one of the few remaining stands of Pine Barrens in the Nation. The densest areas of Pine and Scrub oak on Camp Edwards are in the CIA. Because of the explosive hazard at least 10 acres a year must be manually cut by EOD/UXO Technicians or by utilizing robotics. After an area is cut, a UXO surface clearance must be conducted utilizing a method commonly referred to as “Mag and Flag”. Each flag is a UXO or MEC item the must be investigated, removed, and properly disposed of.
