UXO Turns Up At Construction Site

Fort Bragg, North Carolina Construction workers found two UXO items in soil that was excavated from a remote area of the installation. The UXO was found when the soil was off-loaded from the dump truck. One UXO was identified as an old 60mm high explosive (HE) mortar. The identity of the second UXO was not reported. EOD responded to the incident and safely disposed of the two items. It is unknown if the excavation site where the soil originated from is a known operational range or a munitions response site. If so, the area should have been swept first prior to excavation.
