EOD Badge

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge of the US Armed Forces recognizes those service members, qualified as EOD technicians, who are specially trained to deal with the construction, deployment, disarmament, and disposal of high explosive munitions and may include other types of ordnance such as nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons along with improvised explosive devices (IED) and improvised nuclear devices (IND). Also known as the “EOD Badge” or "Crab", the decoration is issued by the US Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. The EOD Badge is the only occupational badge awarded to all four services under the US Department of Defense.
