Army EOD Soldiers train with civilian counterparts at Raven’s Challenge

U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians from the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command trained with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies at Raven’s Challenge March 2-6 at Camp Blanding, Florida.

Raven’s Challenge brings the world’s leading EOD experts together to train with military units and public safety bomb squads in realistic live fire scenarios. The training is designed to test problem solving to tackle emerging threats.

“It brings our public safety partners with our military partners together. Our ultimate goal is for everyone to leave with a better understanding of each other’s capabilities,” said John Simpson, Raven’s Challenge program manager.
