Visitors will have a chance to see ODT’s Army assets and the EOD Company’s state-of-the-art Army technology.
“When we talk to students, we try not to focus on the team itself, we focus on opportunities provided by the Army and the different outdoors activities provided by different installations,” Branch said.
As active-duty Soldiers and ODT members, Branch and Kelly are highly skilled Sportsman who reach the American public through their passion for outdoor sports, while supporting the Army’s vital recruiting mission.
“Our Team is important to the recruiting mission because we are able to address some common misconceptions about the Army,” Branch said. “We are a focal point for highlighting Soldiers ability to have hobbies and chase their passions while still serving.”
