CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait – Explosive Ordnance Disposal Soldiers with Task Force Atlas, Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, held a memorial 5k shadow run, May 5, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.
The run was coordinated to shadow an EOD memorial ceremony held at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The memorial bares the names of EOD technicians who were killed as a result of an EOD mission since World War II. Thus, every year on the first Saturday in May the memorial is rededicated with new names added.
