demilitarization
Develop and implement standard operating procedures and work plans for munitions responses and operational range clearance activities.
Serve as the UXO team leader.
Perform field collection and testing procedures to identify explosives contaminated media or material (e.g., equipment used for the load-assemble-pack of military munitions).
Transport military munitions, commercial explosives, and MDEH that meets the criteria in Paragraphs 2.2.b.(1)(a) through (e) and has been determined safe for transport over public traffic routes (PTRs). Such munitions and explosives must be packaged in a manner that allows their safe transport and complies with Department of Transportation (DOT) and other applicable federal and State laws and DoD policies. Only UXO determined to be safe for transport by EOD personnel may be transported over a PTR.
Investigate for and identify MEC and MPPEH, including explosive residues in media (e.g., soil), buildings, and installed equipment.
Assist UXOQP in documenting the explosives safety status of MPPEH.
Determine if MDEH, which is not known or suspected to be UXO, is safe to ship and properly documented for transport over PTRs in accordance with Technical bulletin 700-2, Naval Sea Systems Command Instruction 8020.8C, Technical Order 11A-1-47.
Move (e.g., consolidate) MEC within a munitions response site (MRS) or on an operational range after the UXOSO and SUXOS have jointly evaluated and documented the determination that the risk of movement is acceptable.
Store explosive materials in accordance with applicable guidance, including
Supervise MEC-related activities performed at a site.
Assist in the preparation of risk and hazard analyses.
Inspect and document the explosives safety status of MPPEH.
Prepare electric and non-electric firing systems.
Set up decontamination stations and decontaminate CA-contaminated personnel, military munitions, and other material of interest (e.g., munitions debris, glass vials) in accordance with approved plans. Performing these functions may require additional training.
Excavate subsurface anomalies for identification.
Implement an explosives storage plan in accordance with applicable guidance.
Identify different types of military munitions, including identifying whether a military munition’s fuze is armed or unarmed.
Package military munitions, commercial explosives, and MDEH that has been determined safe for transport over PTRs.
Determine, using a variety of techniques (e.g., global positioning equipment, land navigation techniques), and record the location of subsurface anomalies, surface MEC, and other material of interest in a field environment.
Operate vehicles moving explosives or MPPEH on site. Individuals must be appropriately licensed for the class of vehicle being operated.
Prepare administrative reports required for munitions responses (e.g., daily UXO team report), operational range clearance activities, and similar operations.
Ensure compliance with DoD Military Service- and/or DDESB-approved site
Supervise and perform on-site destruction or demilitarization of MEC in place or at a consolidated detonation site. This includes determining where and when it is safe to initiate destruction and when engineering controls are required to mitigate the effects of a detonation.
Meet the criteria for, and perform the functions of, a UXO-TI and UXO-TII.
Supervise, as required, SWs, SP, and UXO-TIs.
