The company called in a bomb disposal team from MacDill Air Force Base to remove the explosive weapon.

1st Lt. Brandon Hanner, a spokesman for the 6th Air Refueling Wing, told Military Times, that the missile is too massive to be disposed at the local range. It will have to be destroyed elsewhere and the details are being work out.
