Hawaii has a long history with the U.S. military on the islands using them for bases and training, including live-round on the ground and in the air practice. As a result, the land is now littered with dangerous bombs known as unexploded ordnances (UXO).
These UXO pose an immediate and ongoing danger to the people of Hawaii because it prevents them from using their own land for everything from permanent housing to farming.
The threat is particularly devastating for the native Hawaiian community, who have been waiting for years for the opportunity to build homes, farms, and ranches on their ancestral lands, but the UXO left behind decades ago has made it impossible.
The situation is urgent, and it's time for immediate action to clear these bombs from Hawaii and protect the safety of all communities. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for leading the remediation efforts, but so far, they have failed in their duty to remove these dangerous weapons.
