The day before EPA's cease-fire order took effect at the Massachusetts
Military Reservation, the Army National Guard started a grass fire exactly
in the manner of soldiers in retreat.

The ability of controlled burns to "clean up" residual contamination is
certainly part of the military's store of knowledge.

Firing an excessive number of white phosphorus rounds at the end of a day
of artillery shooting served the same purpose.
