Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) is a specialized field focused on the detection, identification, and neutralization of explosive devices. This includes various types of ordnance, such as bombs, landmines, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). EOD technicians are trained to safely handle these dangerous materials to prevent accidental detonation and protect lives.
EOD operations are crucial in military and civilian contexts, especially in post-conflict areas where unexploded ordnance poses a threat to communities. These professionals use advanced tools and techniques, including robots and protective gear, to carry out their missions effectively and minimize risks to themselves and others.
