c.
Many standard antipersonnel mines are packed in boxes and crates. If a Marine discovers
explosive storage boxes, he/she should sketch them and turn the sketch over to the
platoon commander for forwarding up the chain of command.
d.
Most boobytraps should be neutralized by explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) personnel.
If EOD teams are not available, boobytraps may be blown in place. Personnel should be
protected by adequate cover. If the boobytrap is in a building, all personnel should go outside
before the boobytrap is destroyed. Engineer tape placed around the danger area is one method
of marking boobytraps. If tape is not available, strips ripped from bedsheets can be used. If
possible, a guide should lead personnel through boobytrapped areas. EPWs and civilians may
be a good source of information on where and how boobytraps are employed.
