Explosive Ordnance Disposal: The World’s Most Capable Bomb Squad
Similar to the unit portrayed in The Hurt Locker, today’s Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) force is one of the world’s premier combat forces for countering Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), and all other Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).
An elite team of warriors, 1,500 Navy EOD Technicians operate in every environment around the world. They are qualified to parachute from 30,000 feet and dive to depths of 300 feet. Volunteering for the most hazardous missions, Navy EOD is the “first in” – clearing the way for further combat operations, fearlessly attacking all explosive obstructions.
This exhibit visually highlights the fearless work these professional volunteers perform around the globe.
FREE and open to the public.
