A further 8 years and multiple tests and additional training is required before the EOD technician is considered for the Master Badge."

  8. Light from Darkness; Public Information and Public Affairs after a terrorist incident. *

    The Israelis have lived through years of terrorist assaults within their westernized democratic society. A major component of the terrorists weapon is the "fear factor".

    IED/WMD incidents produce blast trauma on a massive scale. The EMT must be able to effectively diagnose and provide front line treatment for the full array of blast trauma injuries resulting from terrorist incidents. But the training must go beyond the technical and involve the tactical as well. Teams must work together and coordinate efforts in order to provide efficient life saving care. Israeli and former U.S. Army experts will be providing front line experience on the skills and requirements needed.
