Horse Ride Results in UXO Find

Fort Huachuca, Arizona An EOD team from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was called to Fort Huachuca to detonate a live WWII-era, 81-mm mortar round found by a horseback rider on one of the ranges.

The rider wisely notified base personnel after locating the ordnance near the end of the Libby Army Airfield runway on the base, home to the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM).

EOD conducted an open detonation operation to disposal of the UXO.
