Safety Standard Day taken by Hill EOD

On Friday, Nov. 13, the Hill Air Force Base Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight will take a break in operations for a day, to observe a second annual Safety "Stand-Down" Day. Senior Air Force leadership wants to give EOD Airmen a 'tactical pause' to focus on critical topics and events in their career field. EOD Airmen have been thrust into a dynamic wartime environment, with ever-changing asymmetric threats to life and limb, a thinking enemy engaged in a "cat-and-mouse" style of entrapment warfare, rounded off by an often confusing, contorted joint operational environment.
