EODs make up one of the most mobile and skilled units. They are essential for enabling operations conducted by SEALs, Army Special Forces, the CIA, the Secret Service, the Air Force, and Marine Corps worldwide. They are qualified to dive, jump, and hike as far and as fast as the most elite military units and trained to neutralize nearly every type of lethal device, including conventional explosives, biological weapons, and even nuclear devices. With the unflappable presence of mind, exceptional physical endurance and a readiness to face dangers others would sooner avoid, EODs exemplify the critical skills, needed for high-stakes missions.
