A section of a BDU-50, 500-pound practice bomb is blown into the air after being wrapped lengthwise with explosive cutting tape (ECT) during a joint render safe operation with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Airmen from the 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, and the 514th Air Mobility Wing, Air Force Reserve, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., at Detachment 1, Warren Grove Gunnery Range, N.J., May 1, 2015. The ECT is used to cut through empty and concrete ordnance. Beginning on April 28, 2015, the EOD Airmen retrieved all the ordnance that was dropped at the Range during the past year, and on May 1, 2015, rendered safe – a controlled detonation operation – 30 inert BDU-50, 500-pound practice bombs and two cartridges from BDU-33, 25 pound practice bombs, for later reclamation. Warren Grove Gunnery Range, which is operated by the 177th Fighter Wing, provides a training environment for all military and ground combat forces. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt.
