Do Navy electronics technicians have to defuse IEDs?

[fastheidegger]

Since they work with mines.

 

[NavyCrab]

No, most of the ETs work on ships (Sea Duty). Currently, most of the EOD Technicians work on dryland. And we are the ones defusing IED's if they need to be defused. SFC Ollie is correct, most IED's just get blown up in place.

 

[Philip McCrevice]

No.

That's the job of the EOD. (Explosive Ordinance Disposal.)

 

[SFC_Ollie]

Most IED's when found are simply blown in place.

Yeah, but the Marines can defuse IUD's!

 

[Mrsjvb]

nope. that's what EOD is for.

No. IED are set off when vehicles roll over them. No need to defuse.
