MTMC moves USS Cole munitions
A MTMC contractor transported the munitions removed from the ship beginning Jan. 2 from Naval Station Pascagoula, Pascagoula, Miss.
A munitions hauling contract was awarded by the Deployment Support Command's Negotiations Branch. The bid, opened and closed within 24 hours, was handled by Willie Sharp, a traffic management specialist.
Fellow transporter Maureen Carlo called the contract award "amazing."
"I told my family and all my friends about what we had to do," said Carlo. "It shows you big things can touch your life when you least expect it."
Cole was damaged by a terrorist explosion Oct. 12 in the port of Aden, Yemen. (FROM MILITARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT COMMAND, DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS).
