U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians honed their lifesaving skills together with the police bomb squad in Charlotte, North Carolina. Army EOD techs from the Fort Liberty, North Carolina-based 18th Ordnance Company (EOD) trained with their civilian law enforcement counterparts in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Bomb Squad. The training involved six U.S. Army EOD Soldiers and 15 law enforcement personnel, including an FBI Special Agent Bomb Technician. U.S. Army EOD techs work with local law enforcement bomb squads often because civilian bomb squads are not authorized to work on military ordnance due to the Military Munitions Rule in the Code of Federal Regulations. Officer Andrew Hyde, a hazardous devices technician on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Bomb Squad, said the training gave his squad the opportunity to forge stronger bonds with their military counterparts. Being able to meet in this type of setting was a great way to bring the two squads together both socially and professionally,” said Hyde. “EOD has responded to Charlotte numerous times for the collection and disposal of military ordinance, but now when they respond, both squads will know who is coming or will be on scene and what can be expected from both.” Originally from Chicago, Hyde has been with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for 14 years and has served on the bomb squad for three years.
