BEFORE DEPARTING THE EOD COMPOUND, THE TEAM WAS INFORMED THAT IDF IMPACTED CAMP TAJI, NEXT TO THE %%% CENTER. ORIGINALLY, THE WRONG INFORMATION WAS GIVEN AS TO THE LOCATION FOR THE INCIDENT SITE. WHEN A NEW LOCATION WAS RELAYED TO THE TEAM, THERE WAS NO CORDON ESTABLISHED, AND NO ONE WAS ON SITE WHEN THE TEAM ARRIVED. THIS CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT TIME DELAY FOR THE TEAM TO CONDUCT THE NECESSARY ANALYSIS. UPON ARRIVAL, THE TEAM CONDUCTED ' / '%%% AND SET UP A SAFE AREA AT %%% MC %%%. THE TEAM CONTACTED THE EOD TOC WHICH %%% CALLED THE BDOC TO REQUEST THAT SOMEONE MEET THE TEAM AT THE SITE. A %%% FROM THE BDOC MET THE TEAM AND STATED THAT AT %%%, THERE WAS A DETONATION THAT WAS WITNESSED BY ONE OF THE %%% FACILITY STAFF. THE STAFF MEMBER WAS ALREADY OFF SHIFT AND COULD NOT BE LOCATED FOR QUESTIONING. THE %%% FROM THE BDOC FURTHER STATED THAT SHE ARRIVED ON SCENE AND THE %%% CORDONED OFF THE AREA, AT WHICH POINT SHE WENT BACK TO HER OFFICE TO GET HER CAMERA. WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO THE SCENE, IT WAS VACATED. AFTER TALKING WITH HER, THE TEAM CONTINUED TO SEARCH THE SITE UNTIL THE %%% THAT WERE INITIALLY ON SCENE ARRIVED AGAIN. THE %%% STATED THAT THEY WERE CALLED TO AN IDF SITE AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THEY WITNESSED A LARGE CROWD OF USF DIGGING THROUGH THE BLAST SEAT, AND THEN FILLING THE CRATER BACK IN. THE %%% WERE TOLD THAT EOD HAD ALREADY ARRIVED AND CLEARED THE SCENE, AT WHICH POINT THE %%% VACATED THE SCENE. THE TEAM COLLECTED THE REMAINING FRAGMENTATION AND RETURNED TO BASE. THE TEAM WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS OF THE BLAST SEAT DUE TO THE EXTREME CONTAMINATION OF THE SITE BY USF. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE EOD COMPOUND, THE TEAM WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE %%% HAD CALLED AND STATED THAT THEY HAD PIECES OF FRAGMENTATION FROM THE SCENE. A MEMBER OF THE %%% BROUGHT A BAG OF FRAGMENTATION TO THE TEAM AND STATED THAT MEMBERS OF HIS UNIT TOOK THE FRAGMENTATION FROM THE BLAST SEAT. BASED ON THE FRAGMENTATION RECOVERED, IT IS THE TEAM LEADER'%%% ASSESSMENT THAT THE BLAST WAS CAUSED BY .. %%%, HEAT, , %%%. DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE BLAST SEAT, THE %%% DETONATED UNDERGROUND. THE %%% IS LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN BURIED FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE TEAM LEADER DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS NOT AN IDF ATTACK. NO EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS WERE FOUND.\012\012S2 %%%:A SMALL ROUND DETONATED FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF CAMP TAJI AT A VERY SHALLOW ANGLE CAUSING VERY LITTLE DAMAGE. THE ROUND APPEARS TO BE VERY SMALL LEAVING VERY LITTLE SHRAPNEL TO ASSESS THE TYPE OF ROUND THAT WAS DETONATED. THIS SUGGESTS THE ROUND MAY HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM A VERY CLOSE RANGE.\012\012%%% X EXPLOSION\012X WIA\012X DMG\012\012/////CLOSED///// %%%
