Vietnamese villagers near Gio Linh are exchanging captured weapons with marine Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from Force Logistic Support Group Bravo in 1969. The EOD team, accompanied by army Psychological Operations personnel, collects, disarms, and ensures the safety of the ammunition before it is transported back to Dong Ha Combat Base. The ammunition exchange program aims to encourage Vietnamese to turn in all ammunition and explosives to limit their availability to the enemy.
