ordnance disposal

Ordnance disposal involves locating, diagnosing, and safely removing or neutralizing dangerous explosive devices like bombs, mines, or unexploded shells. Trained specialists, called explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians, use specialized tools and protective gear to carefully assess threats, often working in high-risk environments. The goal is to render these devices safe, preventing injuries or damage. Disposal methods can include controlled detonation, defusing, or transporting the device to a secure location for dismantling. This process is essential for public safety during military operations, conflict zones, or post-conflict cleanup.
