Explosive Ordnance Disposal was begun in World War II to render harmless German bombs. The number of men in the Navy who are qualified EOD technicians number less than 300.

Their training involves scuba and "hard-hat" diving, parachute jumping and identifying and knowing the safety precautions for and rendering safe over 10,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance (both U.S. and foreign) from small arms to nu- clear bombs (bothlon land and in the wa- ter).
