4-7, 11-14, and 25-28 November; and 2-5 and 9-12 December. Eight items were found at the Walker Lake Range. All items were physically marked, photographed, and location marked by GPS coordinates.
Six of the items were deemed safe to move, consolidated, and blown together on December 16, 2019.
Two of the items (two 5-inch Spin Stabilized Rockets, High Explosive [HE]) were not safe to move and were Blown in Place (BIP) on December 16, 2019. After disposal by detonation, the debris was inspected, collected, and taken to the secure holding area in the 107 compound.
