Information
Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) is the task of rendering safe and disposing of any explosive material. Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians protect and save lives by analyzing and handling foreign and domestic explosives. They routinely work with the U.S. Secret Service and the State Department, helping to protect the President, Vice President and other state and foreign officials and dignitaries. They support the U.S. Department of the Treasury, U.S. Customs Office and the FBI and state police bomb squads. EOD technicians also assist in security at large world events, such as the Olympics or world–leader summits. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEOD- TECHDIV) in Indian Head, Maryland is EOD Central, where they answer technical support questions from EOD technicians around the world. This organization also boasts a special anti-terrorist response team which shares information with national and international agencies. This team served as a technical advisor during the investigations of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 above Lockerbie, Scotland and the 1993 New York World Trade Center bombing.
