EOD teams are in such high demand they have been "outsourced" from a DOD in country pool per se that has USMC/USAF/USN/USA teams all working with other units as needed. AF working with Army, Army supporting Marines, Marines supporting AF as well as their own services.

EOD is a joint service school where all services send their troops for EOD training and ceritfication. Very high washout rate when I was active duty. 25 started in our class and only 3 of us graduated.....

Stay safe !

The EOD detachment from Ft Knox shares a parking lot with us, so we get to know them. They all left a few weeks back for their third deployment to Iraq.
