EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) technicians from the 19th Civil Engineering Squadron assigned to the Little Rock Air Force Base detonated 1.25 pounds of C4 on a suspected unexploded anti-tank round at the Robinson Maneuver Training Center in North Little Rock, Ark. on June 26.
The ordnance disposed of was a M6A1 H.E.A.T. (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) Rocket. The munition was fielded to the U.S. Army in July of 1943 in an effort to assist infantry units in combating enemy tanks during WWII.
The Robinson Maneuver Training Center was used to train and house Soldiers, both active duty and National Guard during WWI and WWII.
Nobody was injured during the discovery or disposal of the ordnance and the scene was cleared at approximately 10:00 A.M. CST.
