Exclusive: Special access to a British Army bomb squad

In the UK, tri-service Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialists respond to an average eight callouts per day.

For the Armed Forces, its 'bomb squad' operators are constantly trained to be able to respond to a diverse range of potential explosives emergencies.

Forces News was granted exclusive access to their annual test exercise – which allows personnel to remain qualified and part of the team.
