FM 4-30.16 Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Explosive Ordnance Disposal in a Joint Environment

This publication documents the C2 considerations and procedures for conducting EOD operations in a joint environment. These TTP are necessary to coordinate and integrate multi-Service EOD operations to facilitate efficient and safe joint EOD operations. The EOD force performed in a joint capacity during many recent operations; however, most of the command relationships and coordination requirements were ad hoc. Each Service routinely deploys EOD forces into a theater and assigns the force based on Service needs rather than the theater needs as a whole. This MTTP provides many considerations for employing EOD forces in a joint capacity and provides C2 options for the geographic combatant commander and commander, joint task force (CJTF) to consider. This MTTP also highlights the EOD capabilities and force structures for each Service.
