The EOD mission is to provide support to unified land operations by detecting, locating, identifying, diagnosing, rendering safe, exploiting, and disposing of all explosive ordnance, improvised explosive devices, improvised/homemade explosives, and weapons of mass destruction. As required, EOD forces provide support to joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational operations. The EOD group and battalion headquarters are responsible for providing mission command of all assigned and attached units while planning and synchronizing EOD operations. The headquarters of both elements are comprised of a command group, along with coordinating staffs. The staffs’ primary responsibilities are coordinating and conducting EOD critical wartime and supporting missions.

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
