Detonation season is from April 1 - October 21. Detonations occur daily, (weather permitting) from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Open detonation reduces TEAD’s unusable munition stocks, freeing up valuable conventional munitions storage space at an accelerated rate, improving readiness for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Safety is the most important consideration while conducting open detonations. Strict observance of proven open detonation procedures has resulted in an excellent safety record being earned by the personnel who have helped to destroy millions of pounds of obsolete or unstable munitions safely over the decades at numerous Department of Defense installations.
