Separately, the troops seized more than 20 rounds of various ordnances, approximately 20 fuses, several mortars and mortar rounds, two rolls of detonation cord, several small boxes of ball bearings, anti-aircraft ammunition and two boxes of emulate, used as a civilian explosive substance.
Last month Sandoval was found not guilty on two murder charges but was demoted from specialist to private and is serving a 44-day sentence for planting a detonation cord on the body of an Iraqi.
The demolition experts destroy the recovered ordnance using a combination of detonation cord and what's known as a "jet perforator," a small shaped charge used to detonate the device's main charge, said Rudy Martinez, an EOD technician who is part of the demolition team.
It incorporates components with different NSNs, including the motor, grenade, fuze, detonation cord, and packaging, and each of those components potentially can have different lot numbers and condition codes.
