Aviation units should be aware of potential EO hazard areas and conduct a thorough reconnaissance and a preliminary area sweep for EO before occupying assembly areas and forward arming and refueling points, or conducting casualty evacuation tasks and other operations. (paragraph 1)

What support should commanders and staffs provide for operations in an explosive ordnance environment?

When planning to conduct operations in an EO environment, commanders and staffs should support EO operations with security, logistic support, safe holding areas, and disposal sites. (paragraph 1)
