EOD drops BDU-33s to showcase handling procedures

Staff Sgt. Moises Gonzalez, 56th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, remotely initiates a BDU-33 ordnance inside a protective enclosure during a weapons safety demonstration, Nov. 18, 2020, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. EOD performed the demonstration, displaying hazards for handling a BDU-33 to enhance safety procedures by 56th Fighter Wing members. When initiated, the ordnance releases a flash of fire and smoke that permits visual evaluation of accuracy. The EOD flight maintains 24-hour emergency response capability and neutralizes explosive threats to personnel and property. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Brooke Moeder)
