It's what boys like to do...
EOD personnel placed the explosives on the missiles and launcher as soldiers cleared people from within a 4,000-foot circle around the site. Soldiers in three Humvees blocked three roads entering the area.
The resulting explosion destroyed the missiles and launcher, sending a large fireball into the sky.
Earlier in the day Cpl. Brian Gonzalez and Spc. Matthew Barnes helped two 47th EOD members find and destroy six unexploded cluster bomblets from a farmer’s field nearby.
“They went into harm’s way,” to ensure that the field was safe for use, Silva said.
“We’re field artillery boys,” said Gonzalez. “We like that.”
