Ordnance and Explosives Program

Military Munitions Response Program

The Department of Defense Ammunition and Explosive Safety Standard (DoD 6055.9 - Standard) states that real property that is known to be contaminated with ammunition, explosives or chemical agents must be decontaminated with the most appropriate technology to assure the protection of the public consistent with the proposed end use of the property. This standard is incorporated into the Army Regulations 385-64 (U.S. Army Explosives Safety Program).

Overview of Terminology Changes Starting in 2003, the Army began implementation nationwide of new terminology, acronyms and definitions used to describe its ordnance cleanup program.
