Mission Brief
EOD — the most dangerous job in uniform. Every call is life or death.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians hold what is statistically the most dangerous occupational specialty in any military or law enforcement service — tasked with manually approaching, identifying, and neutralizing improvised explosive devices, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive threats that no one else will touch. In Iraq and Afghanistan, IEDs became the number one killer of coalition forces, and EOD technicians were in constant demand, often conducting multiple calls per day in the most dangerous environments imaginable.
The EOD blast-resistant suit — sometimes called the 'bomb suit' — is one of the most distinctive pieces of equipment in the military inventory: an 80-pound ensemble of ballistic panels, blast-resistant fabric, and integrated cooling systems that provides the technician a measure of protection against blast overpressure and fragmentation while they work. The film The Hurt Locker brought the world's attention to the lonely, terrifying work of EOD — walking alone toward the thing everyone else is running from.
For EOD supporters and technically detailed collectors aged 14 and up.
The bravest walk alone — 2 EOD figures with the most detailed blast suit in the collection.
