Who should be coordinated with for the safe removal of impaled unexploded ordnance (UXO)?

The coordination with EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) personnel and local security is essential for the safe removal of impaled unexploded ordnance (UXO). EOD specialists are trained specifically to handle, assess, and safely dispose of explosives. They have the expertise to determine the safest methods for removal and neutralization of UXO, minimizing the risks associated with their presence.

Local security plays a crucial role in managing the safety and security of the area surrounding the UXO. They can help establish a safe perimeter, control access to the site, and ensure that personnel are kept at a safe distance during the operation. Coordination between EOD and local security ensures that not only is the UXO handled properly, but that preventative measures are in place to protect personnel and bystanders during the operation.

The other options do not provide a full integration of necessary expertise and safety measures; for instance, while the Base Command Element and Law Enforcement may offer valuable support, they lack the specific training in dealing with explosives. Similarly, while logistics teams must be involved in supporting operations, they are not the primary authorities for the safe handling of UXO. Therefore, the collaboration between EOD personnel and local security is the best choice for safely managing the situation.
