Weapons Admin l The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team has, perhaps, the most dangerous job on the ROSIE. Their primary duties consist of detecting, identifying and disposing of all unexploded ordnance. In addition, the EOD Team is responsible for the expeditious handling of flight deck ordnance emergencies, the prevention of underwater and internal sabotage, and the routine disposal of unserviceable ammunition.
