Lt. Kara Handley Capt. Oscar Rojas, commodore, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group One, presents Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician First Class Petty Officer Christopher Greene, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eleven, with a bronze star award with valor during an awards ceremony June 27 on Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach. Greene, from Prescott, Arizona, demon- strated courageous leadership and superb tactical expertise by enabling a direct action raid on an enemy underground headquarters overseas. Despite the constant danger of explosive haz- ards, he cleared an enemy cave complex of improvised explosive threats and shielded his teammates from close-range enemy fire.

Corrosion monitoring and other new techniques will save time and money By Robert Palomares Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division

PORT HUENEME, CALIF. Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division’s (NSWC PHD) Office of Technology is researching and devel- oping techniques to rapidly assess corro- sion in materials before being transferred to ships. These techniques will significantly reduce cost and increase safety when intro- ducing new materials to the fleet. According to Dr. Armen Kvryan, materi- als engineer and project lead, the technique uses a potentiostat to assess the corrosion Defense.gov behavior of a metal using various methods.
