Naval explosive ordnance disposal is possibly one of if not the most dangerous special warfare units in the world. Working with the navy seals and other highly trained special warfare groups, navy eod is the elite of the elite. Navy EOD has a rich history and requires many months of training and schooling. Navy eod was first founded during WWII. “Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams trace their history back to the first group of volunteers selected to work with the famed British UXO teams, following the initial German Blitzkrieg attacks in early 1940”(wikipedia.com.) Starting off defusing underwater mines in shipping lanes during WWII Navy EOD has always been up close and personal with explosives. Navy EOD is the “explosive ordinance disposal” unit for the navy. They go out and defuse bombs so that they don't blow up and kill civilians or our troops. Not just anybody can go out and defuse a bomb. it takes special skills. …show more content…
” 60 weeks of training gives these elite soldiers the skills to excel overseas”(navy.com). The time spent training helps keeps these boys alive when they are overseas. The EOD class has a pt (physical training) test to even be looked at to be admitted into the school you must complete: a 500 yd swim in under 12 minutes, minimum of 50 pushups in 2 minutes, minimum of 5o situps in 2 minutes, minimum of 6 pull ups in 2 minutes and, run 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes. But these are just the minimums and the cadets are expected to do much better than these

The twenty or so men who graduate with stern faces and hardened bodies, show little resemblance to the wide eyed kids who arrived on the quarter-deck six and half months earlier to set sail on the journey of a lifetime. The moment of reflection and rest is short lived though. For now it is off to jump school, then assigned to a Seal team on the East or West Coast. Once on the Seal Team, it becomes clear that training has just begun. From now on they must prove worthy of wearing the coveted “Trident” Naval Warfare emblem. Once at Jump School these determined men will now start learning the proper techniques of jumping out of a perfectly good plane. This is known as Post BUD/s training. This is a thirty-week course that teaches you everything you need to know about war combat, and jumping techniques.
This is an overview of the Chemical Defense Training Facility (CDTF) which is located at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. It is a compilation of information from multiple sources found on the World Wide Web, printed materials, audio/visual media, and a personal interview. The covered topics will be: The history of the CDTF to include its beginning at Fort McClellan, the mission of the CDTF at Fort Leonard Wood, the current leadership, the capability of its facilities, and the training conducted there. It emphasizes the need for a facility where members of all the services of the Department of Defense (DOD), some civilian agency personnel, and foreign entities can receive realistic training. The common theme is the safety with which training has been, and continues to be conducted within its facilities.

Within the doctrine and training of the United States Army and the military as a whole, BIDS refers to a specific unit, system, and capability employed by a subset of particularly trained and focused soldiers that carry the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 74D, or Chemical Operations Specialist. Though this moniker seems to focus singularly on the chemical aspect, it should be noted that these soldiers that are highly trained in all aspects of the CBRN disciplines, more specifically the biological realm. It is this additional emphasis on biological threats and the detection of these threats that allow chemical soldiers to utilize the joined, mission-oriented components of the Biol...

The history of Air Defense Artillery dates back to the early nineteenth century. Air Defense’s introduction in World War 1 allowed for more diversity in terms of furthering joint, air, and missile counteractive operations. Like any other branch, air defense has gone through trial and error before actually finding its appropriate space in the army. The Air Defense Artillery branch continues to increase its technical ability and steadily improves its success, especially during Desert Storm and Desert Shield, all while keeping true to its humble beginnings.
The DOD is best equipped to fulfill a communication lapse in a non-permissive environment. Thus, the DOD should be the leader in establishing alternate methods of disseminating information in degraded environments, providing the necessary capabilities to their civil counterparts, and providing the instructions to maintain such systems.
The deeper question of whether the engineering community should continue to refine methods for combating unconventional warfare techniques such as IED’s, or should they return to the more traditional engineer mission? Such a question should be addressed at the strategic level in depth and would include economic, political, and security considerations. That being said, the implementation will come at the lowest level with the NCO’s training Soldiers on basic engineer skills and tasks. This is where the disconnect seems to occur the greatest because the knowledge base is quickly deteriorating as some of the most well trained and successful NCO’s and officers are departing from the Army, and also those that were around prior to the start of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) near their retirement age.

Physical training is a very essential part of the army culture. Physical fitness has a direct influence on their combat readiness which also ties into needing to be mentally and physically tough. Being physically fit allows you to be productive and also gives you the opportunity to enjoy even the little things in life. It also allows you to be able to adapt and survive through tough living conditions. Having the proper diet and exercise can improve a person’s quality of life. Maintaining a high level of fitness helps you perform at higher levels throughout your life. Healthy muscles are less susceptible to to injury, less likely to tear and give in to stress. Which is why it’s important to take care of your body. Soldiers who don’t meet military fitness standards risk being discharged or maybe disciplinary actions.
