About

The purpose of MCWP 3-17.2, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operations, is to provide a supported unit commander and staff, guidance for planning and operations. Also, EOD commanders to use as a source of information to familiarize them with organizational and operational overviews of EOD within a MAGTF. This publication replaces FMFM 13-8, MAGTF Explosive Ordnance Disposal. 2. SCOPE Unexploded ordnance (UXO) is a frequent hazard in the modern battlespace, especially with the widespread use of submunition weapon systems. It is important during planning to consider the affects of UXO on operations, especially when the operation explicitly requires neutralizing UXO. Also, with the proliferation of MOOTW the Marine Corps is often required to safeguard large numbers of foreign nonmilitary nationals in areas contaminated with UXO. This adds another dimension to operations.
