Movement of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Command and Control (C2) from Logistical Support to Operational/Maneuver Support, within the Military Organization

Abstract

This paper discusses the need to shift C2 of all services EOO from Combat Service Report (CSS) to Combat Support (CS) to support greater planning and execution against the number one battlefield threat, the Improvised explosive device (lED). A realignment of C2 for all services EOD forces form the logistical structure (CSS), to the operational/maneuver (CS) structure is required to effectively plan against improvised explosive devices and the enemy cells that build them and support the operations throughout the battle space. The paper discusses the history, traditional missions, C2, Theater organization of each services EOD. From there the paper discusses how the EOD services should be restructured.
