End of an era: AF EOD mission wraps up in Afghanistan
There have been 20 rotations of more than 600 explosive ordnance disposal technicians who have left their mark in the history of Operation Enduring Freedom since the 2004 inception of the 466th EOD Operating Location Bravo Flight here.
With more than 10,000 missions completed, Aug. 19 marked the unit's final mission.

As their last chapter closes in September 2014, the flight's final rotation is ensuring all assets are returned and their history remembered upon their departure.
