 The Air Force installation and mission support center is on a mission to determine the best explosive ordnance disposal team in the Air Force. I like to describe it as high stakes problem solving. EOD, career field, we have nine mission areas and in this competition we're going to be testing eight of those. The only one that we're not testing is our secret service support. The competition was the vision of the Air Force EOD career field manager, Chief Master Sergeant Van Hood and it began with a series of three regional competitions with this. The first held March 28th through April 1st, 2022 at the Guardian Center training facility in Perry, Georgia. This has been a long time growing for the team of the year event. We started many years ago and lucky enough that I came up here to headquarters Air Force and have a lot of those great teammates at IMSC so they can action on this. This year we're testing out with three regions and next year we're going to do all seven. Total Force EOD teams from eight different flights in the southeast region competed tackling four operations and eight skill evaluations. To participate in this competition you have to be a certified team leader to run the team and you also have to have two certified five level team members. So this isn't a place for training, this is a place to ensure that you're a quality EOD technician. The highly competitive and complex scenarios covered the spectrum of explosive threat possibilities, foreign or domestic. Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians are trained to be the explosive experts not only on military ordinance and what's flying on the aircraft but also to help public law enforcement and respond to any explosive threats. Nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, chemical ordinance. Our EOD teams, they are competitive. It builds our teamwork and gives us as an entire career field a snapshot of where we are in both our training and our readiness. After the dust settled, the 2022 southeast region winners are Little Rock EOD Team. For the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center, I'm Brian Godden.
