FORT BLISS, Texas --The Army’s preeminent tactical and technical explosives experts possess the advanced training and critical skills needed to disable explosive devices and weapons of mass destruction. However, they must constantly train to continue to hone their skills.
The 741st Ordnance Company (EOD), 3rd Ordnance Battalion completed a weeklong exercise that consisted of 24 lanes in six different areas.
“There’s millions of different scenarios that you can run into and there is no problem that is the same. Every one we run into is different,” said Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Casey, assigned to 741st Ordnance Company (EOD).
Under the blazing El Paso sun, Explosive Ordnance Specialist teams trained to prepare for future missions. These training exercises simulate real-world scenarios, enabling Explosive Ordnance Specialist teams to enhance their preparedness for high-pressure situations they may encounter in the field.
“The team leader's job is to figure out the plan and the team member's job is to use the robot, give a second opinion, or to give water just in case, since it gets hot out here.” said Spc. Gavin Heinrich, assigned to 741st Ordnance Company (EOD).
The soldiers of the 741st Ordnance Company (EOD) understand the significance of teamwork in their line of work.
“One of the most important things EOD techs have is each other,” said 1st Lt. Austin Gutierrez, assigned to 741st Ordnance Company (EOD).
No matter the circumstances, the EOD techs from the 741st Ordnance Company stand united, knowing that their training and camaraderie make them stronger together. As they continue to train and refine their skills, these experts remain dedicated to their mission of ensuring the safety and security of both military personnel and civilians alike.
