Battlefield environment presents a range of challenges for military forces. Armies need to stay alert to the threat of explosive ordnance and mines during warfighting situations. Explosive ordnance can be encountered at different places, including warfighting zones, military installations and assets, and public places.
Top Guide for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Mine Clearance
Some of the common threats include improvised explosive devices (IEDs), bombs, landmines, unexploded bombs, and explosive remnants of war that did not explode during the conflict and could pose risk long after the war is over.
EOD involves the detection, recovery, and disposal of explosive ordnance. Demining or mine clearance is aimed at removing mines found along strategic pathways during an armed conflict using specialised equipment such as a mine plough that is fitted to a mine clearance vehicle or other military vehicles, including armoured fighting vehicles and tanks.
