Camp Minden, Louisiana Following the detonation in late September of aging Clean Burning Ignitor (CBI), Army EOD from the 797th Ordnance Company and 79th Ordnance Battalion from Fort Hood, Texas, have now destroyed all remnants of the CBI following the two large magazine burns.

The EPA monitored the burn at four stations, as well as with their Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer (TAGA) bus downwind of the burn. As of today, approximately one-half of the M6 propellant and 100 percent of the CBI, has been destroyed. The incineration efforts on the remaining M6 continue to make great progress.
