According to Gen. Michael Moseley, Air Force Chief of Staff, most of the explosive ordnance disposal work being done in Afghanistan and Iraq is accomplished by Air Force and Navy EOD specialists. And, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne told lawmakers at a House Appropriations panel hearing last week that USAF “is losing” EOD airmen. He called it a “stress career field.”
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
