MILITARY MUNITIONS RESPONSE PROGRAM (MMRP)

RFI’s Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) staff is ready to provide the technical expertise necessary for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) remediation and other projects involving hazardous materials.

RFI searches for and hires the best of the best among Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) personnel. Collectively, RFI’s EOD/UXO techs have worked on more than 51 MMRP projects at Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps projects and Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) nationwide, on land and sea. Many RFI employees are former military EOD techs experienced in handling chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons (CBRN) who also have Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (Hazwoper) and other OSHA certifications.

RFI encourages cross-training EOD/UXO personnel in heavy equipment and robotics and may offer specific training opportunities in the near future.
