explosive ordnance demolition (EOD)

Explosive Ordnance Demolition (EOD) is a specialized field focused on handling, disarming, and destroying explosive devices, such as bombs, grenades, and landmines. EOD professionals, often military or law enforcement personnel, assess dangerous situations, safely neutralize the threat, and ensure public safety. Their work involves using advanced tools and techniques to either defuse explosives or detonate them in controlled environments. EOD is crucial for protecting communities from the risks posed by unexploded ordnance, helping to clear safe paths for civilians and enabling recovery and development efforts in affected areas.
