Sgt. Joe Villines (Vil-lines) takes us out with the 788th Ordnance Co. (EOD) where they are preparing code “H” ammunition and other ordnance for a controlled detonation outside Camp Buehring in Kuwait. Disposal of small lots of unusable ammunition saves the government the cost of refurbishing and tracking these munitions back through the supply system. Destroying these munitions and unexploded ordnance also denies enemies the potential to turn them into weapons.
