Re: “While most of the munitions dropped during that time period were practice bombs and inert rockets, there were some that actually contained explosive materials and could present a hazard today.”Huh. Hunting for unexploded munitions! That could be as challenging as rock hunting… as risky as spelunking! Now I kind of wish we HAD gone hiking through that SFS Recreation Area.

What is MEC?
MEC stands for munitions and explosives of concern. MEC includes military munitions such as unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, or munitions constituents, like TNT.

History of MEC at New Boston SFS
From 1942 to 1956, portions of New Boston Space Force Station were used as a bombing range for a variety of munitions including bombs and small rockets. Over the years, most of the munitions have been removed. While most of the munitions dropped during that time period were practice bombs and inert rockets, there were some that actually contained explosive materials and could present a hazard today.
