The EOD team was training last week, as well, a base spokesman told Cox Media Group Ohio.
The team regularly trains with explosive devices. The 788th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) operates at Wright-Patterson, where some 30,000 people work. As part of that training, the EOD team must often identify and dispose of explosive devices in a safe manner.
