EOD training simulating deployment grows in its second year

BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.— Some of the Air Force’s most dangerous missions are undertaken by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squads regardless of the hostilities and hazards of an unpredictable environment.

Dangerous and ever evolving threats to people and property requires special skills and tools that are honed and mastered through challenging and realistic training. Last year, Tech. Sgt. Aaron Haak, 60th Civil Engineer Squadron EOD Team Leader, started a multi-day full environment immersed training for EOD at Travis Air Force Base known as Exercise GOLDEN CRAB.
