The EOD team from the Air Land EOD Team (ALET), 22 HQ & Sp Sqn, 33 Engineer Regiment (EOD&S) recently deployed to Utah, USA, for PRAIRIE FIRE 26.
Operating in high-altitude desert terrain, our team participated in this premier EOD Interoperability Training and Knowledge Exchange Visit, hosted by the USAF's 775th EOD Flight. Alongside specialist technicians from 8 partner nations, they integrated into combined international teams to exchange skills, build critical relationships, and tackle complex tactical scenarios.
The high-intensity, two-week training program focused on: π₯ Large-scale demolitions (conducting live-fire range disposals) β‘ Standoff Munitions Disruption (SMUD) demonstrations utilising directed energy weapons π οΈ Advanced mitigation techniques and render safe procedures π Joint training on C-IED, c-SUAS, and UXO scenarios.
A fantastic opportunity to strengthen international alliances, develop cutting-edge EOD capabilities, and ensure we are always ready to combat any joint threat.
