Ordnance disposal refers to the process of safely handling, disarming, and disposing of explosive devices, such as bombs and landmines. This specialized field is crucial for ensuring public safety, especially in areas affected by conflict or military operations. Trained professionals, often called bomb disposal technicians, use various techniques and equipment to neutralize threats posed by unexploded ordnance. The disposal process typically involves assessing the device, determining the safest method for removal or destruction, and executing the plan in a controlled environment. Organizations like the United Nations and various military units around the world are involved in ordnance disposal efforts to mitigate risks and protect communities.
