Exclusive: Special access to a British Army bomb squad

In the UK, tri-service Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialists respond to an average eight callouts per day.
For the Armed Forces, its 'bomb squad' operators are constantly trained to be able to respond to a diverse range of potential explosives emergencies.
Forces News was granted exclusive access to their annual test exercise - which allows personnel to remain qualified and part of the team.

Great to see EOD being Championed by Forces News. A much under appreciated British Army Branch, of which, were so critical to British Operations in Afghanistan, whilst also being a vital capability to Today’s Asymmetric Battlefield!👍

Do the NZ troops demolitions teams train with you guys & IF NOT WHY NOT??? PLEASE ANSWER THANKS

[@IO-zg8md]

No. Because 'demolitions' is not EOD in UK (although the 'school' is "DEMSS") Mind you, there was that one incident in Birmingham a few years ago ...
