Why is EOD leading an assault mission?

#######

“Greene safely led the combined assault force to the target and began clearing the enemy cave complex, his award citation states.”

Alright, go Navy!

Would like to know more about the mission and the firefight. Sounds like they may deserve more than Bronze Star with Valor?

“xplosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians 1st Class Christopher Greene and Travis Holland were each presented with the Bronze Star with combat “V” device last week at Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach, California.”

Sounds more like Medal of Honor material than what they got, at least from the write-up here.

It doesn’t say but I’ll bet they were in their bomb suits. Built to shield the wearer from close range explosions, I’ll bet they are just about impervious to small arms fire. These guys were walking tanks. Fearless walking tanks basically drawing fire to prevent injury to teammates?

I wonder how they devastated the enemy position and stopped the attack. Brave dudes.
