                                Intelligence).

           1. (U) SITUATION.     The Iraqi forces are equipped with an
           international spectrum of weapons systems. They have
           purchased, manufactured, or otherwise acquired ordnance items
           in a great variety that will create numerous unexploded
           ordnances (UXOS) either through design or default in their
           usage. These UXOs can have a damaging effect on U.S. forces
           and it is the responsibility of EOD units to render them safe.
           2. (U) MISSION. Army EOD units have been assigned in
           dedicated support of each division. An Explosive ordnance
           Disposal Control Team (EODCT) has been assigned to each Corps
           and to the EAC. The EODCTS will assign all reported UXOs to
           the appropriate EOD unit for action. All Air Force/Navy/Marine
           forces have their own dedicated EOD support.

               b. (U) GENERAL.

                   (1) (U) BOD is responsible for the detection,
               identification, field evaluation, rendering safe, recovery
nal
               explosives, chemical/biological weapons and nuclear
               munitions.

                   (2) (U) Conventional minefields are normally not an
               EOD mission. EOD will assist the Engineers in rninefield
               clearance when required dependent on mission availability.
               Chemical mines are an EOD mission and will be responded to
               as such.
