Every year, the best EOD teams in the Pacific meet at Schofield Barracks to compete in the United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) EOD Team of the Year (TOY) competition hosted by the 303rd Ordnance Battalion, 8th Military Police Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command.
This year’s competition saw teams from Alaska, Hawaii, and South Korea compete. The competition began with two physical fitness tests, a land navigation course, and a weapons qualification which tested basic Soldier skills before transitioning into 16 scenario-based lanes that tested a wide variety of EOD specific tasks.
After six days of competition, Staff Sgt. Edward (Eddie) Monczynski and Spc. Matthew Ruben, the EOD Team from the 718th ORD CO (EOD) in South Korea, were proclaimed the best EOD Team in the Pacific. They will travel to the Department of the Army EOD Team of the Year competition 3 - 8 June 2018 at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia.
