190627-N-UP025-005 SAN DIEGO, Calif. (June 27, 2019) Capt. Oscar Rojas, commodore, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group One, presents Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician First Class Petty Officer Travis Holland, 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. Holland, from Golden, Colorado, demonstrated superior tactical acumen while conducting a thorough secondary clearance and site exploitation on an enemy underground headquarters overseas. He identified 15-20 enemy fighters preparing to throw grenades into the main cavern and positioned himself in the open to shield his team from a potentially fatal blast, while also engaging the enemy combatants. 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.
