Explosive ordnance disposal
Includes the detection, Identifi-
cation, rendering safe, and re-
covery of explosives which have
been found, dropped or placed In
such a manner as to constitute
an explosive hazard. All of
which Is Just a somewhat digni-
fied way of saying "dealing
with a problem that may blow
up In your face at any moment.”
For the men who wear the . .
EOD badge, all this adds sip to a Now and then

gerous--way of life. It’s doubt-

Working out of Fort Chaffee
in Northwest Arkansas, several
members of the team
have
near tha old Pea Ridge battle-
field. The place was full of
rusty rifles and other ordnance
which had been plowed up and
found on the battleground. "Fine
souvenirs,” Sgt. Epperson said,
"but many of the rifles still
held the last round loaded Into
them by the men in blue and
gray who fought the bloody battle
of Pea Ridge.”
Not all calls for EOD assis-
tance result In the finding of
explosive material, however.

plained, "when we are dealing
with souvenirs or the everyday
run of sxploslves that are found,
we are only interested In deter-
mining if they are hazardous,
and If so, then In their proper
disposal.”
Every year as unfortunate as
It Is, a great number of people
die because they didn’t know

tloned at Red River Army Depot,
Texarkana, Texas, as a good
example.
In a Northern Arkansas town,
a man picked up two "dud”
bazooka rounds from the Impact
area at Fort Chaffee. The roc -
ket£ were carried home and
left In the back yard as sou-
venirs. Came fall and yard
cleaning time. The man's child-
ren were . burning leaves In a. _______
barbecue pit. Why? Perhaps no haps,
one will ever know for sure, ’
but for sofne reason the rockets
were thrown Into the burning
leaves. One exploded and
seriously Injured Three child-
rertJ^Men from the 137th had the
dubious "honor” of recovering
And renderlpt harmless the
other burned and no doubt very
hazardous, rocket.
Then There was the Texan
with a twisted mind who booby
trapped his lake cabin against
unwanted-guests. The "Gentle-
man" passed from the scene and
the cabin changed hands. A
plumber doing some work for
the jpew owner ran into some odd
looking "plumbing” and called
for EOD assistance. The pecu-
liar looking "plumbing” turned
out to be World War n gas
gernades which the previous
owner had wired as booby tfaps
throughout the house.
According to S/Sgt. James L.
Epperson, one of the 137th’stop
demolition experts, lt’« no
longer a surprise to see hazard-
ous Civil War souvenirs In the
hands of unsuspecting owners.
Just recently the team received
a call from Parla, Texas, A
lady doing some house cleaning
--no doubt In the attic--had
come acroes what looked like a
cannon ball. A member of the
team checked and sure enough
the lady had In her possession
sriassaSS
figuring it would be triggered by
any opening action, if it was in
fact a bomb. After several
anxious moments the experts
cut Into the briefcase and found
the latest "Book of. the Month”
selection. Who left the briefcase
and novel oh the detective’s
porch Is anyone's guess. Per-
ln the minds of some
there was no need of destroying
the briefcase, but in such cases
the squad has no choice but to
take every safety precaution.
The 137th Ordnance Detach-
ment at Red River Army Depot
has personnel on duty 24 hours
a day, 365 days a year. They
stand ready to afWwer any call
from an area which stretches
from Durant, Okla., to Corsi-
cana, Texas, east to the Missi-
ssippi River, and north to
Central Arkansas. If a call
comes from outside the squad's
zone of responsibility, the Com-
mandlng Officer of the 137th
refers the Information to the
Fourth U. S. Army Explosive
Ordnance Disposal Officer who
takes necessary action to pro-
perly handle the request.
According to 2nd Lt. Patrick
L. DesChamps, Commanding
Off tear of Red River’s 137th
EOD squad, tha Department of
Army la not responsible for
disposal of non-military com-
mercial tn>a explosives which
