 Donning an 85 pound suit and heading straight into what could be a deadly situation might not be your cup of tea, but for Air Station Marines of Explosive Ordinance Disposal, it was all part of a practice scenario during Exercise Active Shields. We got a call today for a suspicious package and we came out to investigate and although it is dangerous, we do it the safest way possible. Someone found a suspicious package and reported it to the authorities. PMO arrived first with working dogs to check the surrounding area for more threats. Next, EOD stepped in to check out the package using their robot. Using the robot to look at the package from several different angles, they decided that using the bomb suit would be the best way to deal with the package. After some planning and a few maneuvers, the Marines eliminated the threat and successfully completed the training. Lance Corporal Haley Foray, Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan.
