BOSSIER CITY, La. -- The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team at Barksdale Air Force Base is 13 members strong. âIt's basically the military's bomb squad,â said EOD team leader Kalin Fuller. They go through at least eight months of training with marines, soldiers and sailors.  âAny and all explosive hazards presented to the military, whether from traditional ordnance or more unconventional improvised explosive devices are what we take care of," said Fuller. The EOD team protects the base, but also helps local authorities within a 200-mile radius around the base. âWeeks ago, I responded to a Caddo Parish Sheriff's officer who had done a traditional traffic stop and found that the individual driving in possession of a couple of military flares,â said Fuller, who demonstrated the suit the team leader wears to protect their body when tending to any suspect packages or improvised explosive devices, also known as IEDs. The suit weighed about 70 pounds.
