Officially Licensed USMC EOD Patch — Approaching What Others Run From
Every other Marine is trained to get away from explosives. EOD techs are trained to walk toward them.
The Marine Corps Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community represents some of the most courageous and technically skilled Marines in the Fleet Marine Force. Marine EOD technicians are trained to identify, render safe, and dispose of explosive ordnance including improvised explosive devices, conventional munitions, chemical and biological weapons, and nuclear devices. Their training pipeline is among the most demanding in the military, combining technical expertise with the psychological fortitude to approach live explosives with calm precision. Marine EOD operators have saved countless lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, and wherever Marines face explosive threats.
Perfect For: Marine EOD technicians, FMF explosive ordnance disposal operators, bomb disposal professionals, combat engineer supporters, and EOD community patch collectors.
EOD — the bravest walk toward what others flee.
