| | Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) in Viet Nam 1966-1967 |
 | | Each “EOD incident” posed a great danger to the EOD troop, and his defenses were knowledge, training, repeated practice, an ability to improvise, a large dose of common sense, a thick skin, and the ability to work continuously under very stressful conditions. |
 | | It was rare for an EOD team to deal with truly safe or routine situations, especially when working with home-made, unfamiliar foreign, or clandestine explosives, such as was often the case in Vietnam. |
 | | The base EOD teams were usually part of the Munitions Maintenance Squadron, and their radios were tuned to the aircraft maintenance network. |
