CAMP TAQADDUM, Iraq -- Unexploded ordnance from a bunker in the Ammunition Supply Point lay scattered after insurgents landed a rocket within the confines of the ASP last year.  ::n::“It was pretty amazing because two containers of ammunition are still unaccounted for,” Staff Sgt. Shaun Adams, staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the Ammunition Supply Point. “They literally melted to the ground because everything was so hot. Parts of another ISO container ended up on the other side of the berm. [Explosive Ordnance Disposal] teams come out here regularly to help clean this place up.”
