Tyler Blatter, an explosive ordnance disposal specialist, places a mortar in chain vice straps to unscrew a fuse at The Basic School on Marine Corps Base Quantico, May 1, 2025. Orange County local Henry Vap found a 50mm French Mortar dating back to WWII on his homestead. Larry Griffith, the investigator on the scene, and a captain from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, identified the mortar, and claimed it could be a live piece of ordnance of military connection, so he notified the explosive ordnance disposal team from MCB Quantico. The EOD team disassembled the ordnance, rendering it to be safe. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Harleigh Faulk) - U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt.
