    Military Munitions Response Program (formerly called Ordnance and Explosives Program)
    Note: In 2003, the Army began implementing new terminology nationwide to describe its ordnance cleanup program. Numerous written materials relating to the ordnance cleanup program at the former Fort Ord, such as Administrative Record documents, factsheets, meeting minutes, and pages within this website that were created prior to 2004 include the old terminology. The new terminology is being incorporated as newly written materials become available.
