Our Legacy in Action

The National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Association (NATEODA) is proud to showcase the events, initiatives, and stories that define who we are and what we stand for.

From honoring fallen warriors at the EOD Memorial, to hosting national conventions, supporting veterans, and connecting generations of EOD technicians, our work is as diverse as the people we serve.

This portfolio highlights some of our most impactful efforts—past and present. Whether you’re a member, supporter, or simply curious, we invite you to explore how we’re preserving EOD history, advocating for today’s warriors, and shaping the future of the community.
