HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. – The job of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Airman requires precision, attention to detail and ability to work under pressure. While most jobs may leave room for error, one mistake could mean the difference between life and death for an EOD Airman.
The 1st Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Airmen are an elite group of highly-trained technicians known for their expertise in dealing with improvised explosive devices.
“It takes a special breed of Airman to seek out an explosive device and put himself in harm’s way for the sake of making the place safer for fellow service members and innocent bystanders,” said Col. James Slife, commander of the 1st Special Operations Wing.
These Airmen are ground combatants who deploy as EOD and support all branches of service. In combat locations, fellow service members rely on their expertise to get them through potentially dangerous situations.
