Additional Information: Definitions Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) - Military munitions that have been primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for action, and have been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installation, personnel, or material and remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or any other cause. Improvised Explosive Device (IED) - An expediently packaged explosive charge detonated by an initiator with a customized fuzing and firing circuit, also known as a bomb. Objects of Interest - The subject matter of attention, for example, mail, small parcels, personal articles carried on personnel, and personnel themselves. Disruption - (1) An EOD technique designed to cause deflagration, low-order detonation of the main charge, or mechanical breakup of an explosive-loaded ordnance item by attacking the item's case. (2) An EOD technique designed to separate the firing train components of an improvised explosive device (IED). Neutralize - (1) To destroy or reduce the effectiveness of enemy personnel and materiel by gunfire, bombing or any other means.(2) To make a toxic chemical agent harmless by chemical action.(3) To disarm or otherwise render safe mines, bombs, or other missiles and boobytraps. (4) As pertains to military operations, to render ineffective or unusable. Neutralization - In mine warfare, a mine is said to be neutralized when it has been rendered, by external means, incapable of firing on passage of a target, although it may remain dangerous to handle.
