Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and mine clearance are vital functions for military forces which work within the challenging and complex battlefields of today. Not only do armed forces need to stay alert to the threat of explosive ordnance and mines during warfighting situations, they must also be able to safely and efficiently dispose of them once dealt with. Explosive ordnance can be encountered at different places, including warfighting zones, military installations and assets, and public places.

Some of the common threats include improvised explosive devices (IEDs), bombs, landmines, unexploded bombs, and explosive remnants of war that did not explode during a previous conflict and thus could pose an enduring risk long after the fighting is over.

Explosive ordnance disposal 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.
