| Language: | English | Abstract: | Specialized units of pyrotechnicians, especially pyrotechnicians in combat support, are the newly acquired capacity of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Platoon (EOD) is intended for combat support as a modularly added unit. In support of the battalion battle group and consequently the middle infantry coy, the platoon can offer up to six squads. The EOD platoon is intended as a module to support the operation of chemical, biological, radiological units (CBRN units), engineering units and, if necessary, the other branches of the army. Inclusion of the EOD is reasonable in the rank of battalion or higher, where the liaison officer is located. A platoon may support units of a lower rank (company, platoon) but the subordination of the unit directly to a battalion or a unit of a higher rank is required. For the purpose of combat support, EOD can perform the tasks of reconnaissance of unexploded ordnance (EOR; EOD reconnaissance), destruction of unexploded ordnance (EOD; explosive ordnance disposal) and destruction of unexploded ordnance in the CBRN environment (NBC EOD; nuclear biological chemical explosive ordnance disposal). When cooperating with units of the Slovenian Armed Forces and when cooperating within the Alliance, it makes sense to use EOD standard operating procedures (EOD SOP) based on Stanag 2221 (NATO Standardization Agreement / NATO-North Atlantic Treaty Organization agreement) for the purposes of command and reporting. This is important for EOD units working with Medium Infantry Battalion Group; INF-M-BNG (slo. SrBBSK). | Keywords: | EOD, Stanag 2221, CBRN EOD, battle support, INF-M-BNG |
