U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal techs from the 52nd Ordnance Group EOD took top honors in the 2026 all-Army EOD Team of the Year competition.

Each team took on meticulously-designed training lanes that were built from real-world EOD missions in large-scale combat operations, which tested their physical endurance and mental agility.

The ability to render safe, enable lethality, solve complex high-stakes problems under extreme pressure, all while safeguarding U.S. forces on the battlefield, are cornerstone proficiencies of the EOD profession, according to Col. Phillip P. Murrell, deputy commanding officer of the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives Command.

Staff Sgt. Justin R. Bowman, team leader of the winning team and a California native, demonstrated a sharp and lethal edge and a high-level of confidence in his team’s ability to win. "Yeah, I knew we were going to win, because we’re just better," said Bowman.

Bowman not only led his team to victory, but he was recognized by the ceremony’s guest speaker for finishing his Expert Physical Fitness Assessment in under 17 minutes.

美國陸軍第52軍械群爆裂物處理（EOD）技術人員，在2026年全陸軍年度EOD小組競賽中奪得最高榮譽。

各參賽小組需完成多項精心設計的訓練關卡，這些關卡源自大規模作戰中的真實EOD任務，用以全面檢驗其體能耐力與心理應變能力。

第20化生放核與爆裂物司令部副指揮官穆雷爾上校表示，在極端壓力下執行爆裂物處置、強化部隊殺傷效能，並解決高風險複雜問題，同時確保美軍部隊在戰場上的安全，正是EOD專業的核心能力。

獲勝隊伍隊長、來自加州的參謀中士鮑曼，展現出精準而具殺傷性的專業能力，以及對團隊奪冠的高度自信。他說：「沒錯，我早就知道我們會贏，因為我們就是比較強。」

鮑曼不僅帶領團隊奪冠，亦因在17分鐘內完成專家體能測驗而獲典禮貴賓表揚。
