Persons who are permitted access to the reservation are hereby warned they may encounter unexploded ordnance in the
areas that are open to the public for recreation. These items may be on the surface, or they may be partially or completely
buried. Do not move, handle, or otherwise disturb ordnance (bullets, bombs, rockets, flares, etc) or any other suspicious
objects. Mark and report the location and description of such items to the Security Forces (882-2000), Jackson Guard
