190627-N-UP025-002 SAN DIEGO, Calif. (June 27, 2019) Capt. Oscar Rojas, commodore, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group One, presents Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician First Class Petty Officer Christopher Greene, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eleven, with a bronze star award with valor during an awards ceremony June 27 on Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach. Greene, from Prescott, Arizona, demonstrated courageous leadership and superb tactical expertise by enabling a direct action raid on an enemy underground headquarters overseas. Despite the constant danger of explosive hazards, he cleared an enemy cave complex of improvised explosive threats and shielded his teammates from close-range enemy fire. U.S. Navy EOD is the world's premier combat force for eliminating explosive threats so the Fleet and Nation can fight and win wherever, whenever and however it chooses. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt.
