  This is a picture of a 2000 lbs ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) explosive charge as it detonated. Our unit in the Utah Army National Guard was assigned to create a "duck pond" for the US Forest Service.

Cratering and Ditching Charges

And as you can see in this picture it took a number personnel and equipment to accomplish this assignment. What you do not see pictured here is the Scoop Loader and the 5 ton dump trucks that it took to place this charge and backfill it. Which we did not do a good jobs of and that is why the hole is so small.
