FORT RILEY, Kan. – Interagency Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians came together to clear more than 2,000 pounds of air-dropped bombs during a training exercise on Fort Riley, Kansas, July 14 – 18.
Army EOD techs from the Fort Riley-based 630th Ordnance Company (EOD) honed their lifesaving and mission-enabling skills with EOD techs from the Nebraska Air National Guard’s 155th EOD Flight and civilian bomb squad personnel.

Romanow, the commanding officer of the 630th EOD Company, said the training helped the EOD technicians to learn from each other while getting rid of potentially hazardous 250-pound MK 81 and 500-pound MK 82 series air-dropped bombs.
