Who is responsible for disposal of MPPEH found away from active operations?

• A. Security personnel on site
• B. Local police
• C. Environmental safety team
• D. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)

Answer: (D)

When MPPEH is found away from active operations, the disposal responsibility lies with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). MPPEH refers to munitions and explosive hazards, which can be unstable and dangerous. Only EOD technicians have the training, tools, and procedures to safely assess, render safe, and dispose of these items. Security on site can secure the area to prevent harm, and local police or environmental safety teams may assist in coordination or environmental concerns, but they do not perform explosive-disposal operations. In short, EOD is the specialized unit equipped to handle and safely dispose of MPPEH.
