Luke EOD trains at Camp Navajo: Furious Alpaca

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight, practice a rapid explosive hazard mitigation during a training scenario at Camp Navajo, Arizona, April 12, 2023. Members assigned to the 56th CES EOD flight participated in exercise Furious Alpaca; a three-day exercise with the strategic objective of conducting operations in degraded environments alongside foreign forces against a near peer threat. The third day included a five-mile ruck into a mock village that was previously under attack and was littered with unexploded ordnances that required mitigation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

Antonio Ramirez, 56th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight technician, digs through soil with a non-conductive probe at Camp Navajo, Arizona, April 12, 2023. Members assigned to the 56th CES EOD flight participated in exercise Furious Alpaca; a three-day exercise with the strategic objective of conducting operations in degraded environments alongside foreign forces against a near peer threat. The non-conductive probe allows EOD members to dig through soil that may contain improvised explosive devices without the risk of tripping circuits that could denotate them.

Tyler Paul, 56th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight technician, ties a cord around a PK machine gun that was left behind outside a mock village during a training scenario at Camp Navajo, Arizona, April 12, 2023. Members assigned to the 56th CES EOD flight participated in exercise Furious Alpaca; a three-day exercise with the strategic objective of conducting operations in degraded environments alongside foreign forces against a near peer threat. EOD members employ techniques like “pulling” to mitigate traps that have been baited with improvised explosive devices. Pulling entails a cord carefully tied around a part of the trap that is reeled in from a distance in order to set off the device while avoiding injury. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Noah D.
