Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Tygret, assigned to 744th Ordnance Disposal Company, 52nd Explosive Ordnance Group, finds scavenged material from the local area suitable for shielding or deflecting potentially damaging debris from a simulated residential structure during the protection works lane of the fifth annual Department of the Army level explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Team of the Year competition, Sept. 11 at Fort Hill, Va. The week-long competition is part of a new initiative of the Army Ordnance Corps, called the Army Ordnance Crucible, which combines the results of this competition with two other competitions that were held at Fort Pickett. Those competitions were on ammunition transfer holding points (ATHP) and combat repair teams (CRT). The three unique competitions will provide an opportunity for senior leaders to assess ammunition, maintenance and EOD professionals across the institutional Army, operational force and individual leader development domains.
