ANNEX A TO STANAG 2377 (Edition 2)

GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF AN EOD INCIDENT INITIATION 1. An EOD incident starts when any of the following occur: a. Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) is discovered following an attack. b. The presence of UXO is suspected following explosions or other evidence

eg minestrike. c. A suspect device has been found or a bomb warning has been received in

the case of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) incident. d. A threat assessment has confirmed the need for a defensive or offensive

search operation. IMMEDIATE ACTION 2. The Civil/Military authorities for the area are responsible for carrying out the following immediate action drills: a. Confirm the presence and location(s) of any UXO/IED through a co-

ordinated search of the area and lay down a provisional evacuation/danger area.

b. Clearance and evacuation of the danger area of personnel and casualties. c. Providing as accurate a description of the UXO/IED as possible in the

circumstances. d. Reporting of the incident to superior Headquarters. e. Establishment of an Incident Control Point (ICP). f. The securing of the danger area by effective cordon. g. Control of access to the danger area and ICP. 3. The responsible Headquarters should then: a. Confirm the threat and decide upon the category of the Incident

(STANAG 2143). The category should normally be decided by a Staff EOD officer.

b. Task the appropriate EOR/EOD agency. c. Establish contact with, and where necessary warn for possible action, the

following agencies and services: (1) Emergency services, for example, Fire, Ambulance, Hospitals. (2) Public utilities, for example, Water, Electricity, Gas and Sewerage. (3) Appropriate Civil/Military authorities. PRE-EOD ACTIVITIES 4. Whilst awaiting the arrival of the EOR/EOD operator the Incident Commander should: a. Redirect traffic to avoid congestion until arrival of appropriate civil or

military police. b. After checking for UXO/IED, select a suitable and safe location for the RV

and pass its location to all tasked or responding agencies. When selecting the RV, particularly in the case of an IED, a check should be made to ensure that it has not been previously used.

c. Take appropriate action to dominate any hostile environment. d. Ensure that key military witnesses are available and kept separated to

maintain the integrity of their information. Identify key civilian witnesses and assist civil authorities in their handling of them.

e. Arrange for key holders to be available if there are locked premises. f. Exercise discretion in dealing with representatives of the press and

television. At no time should EOD procedures be discussed or speculated on and, if possible, identities of EOD personnel should not be compromised.

5. Some of the above activities may only be applicable to an IED incident, but all should be considered. EOR/EOD ACTION 6. On arrival at the RV the EOR/EOD Operator will: a. Be briefed fully by the Incident Commander. b. Question witnesses if applicable. c. Evaluate the situation and decide on a plan of action.

Page 7: Stanag 2377Ed02

1332E-01EOD2377(mv)

NATO/PfP UNCLASSIFIED

d. In the case of a confirmed IED , the EOD Operator will deploy direct to the ICP without an EOR being carried out.

7. EOR a. The EOR Operator will assess the quantity and type of UXO. b. Report back to next higher formation with recommendations for tasking of

EOD resources. c. Give advice to the ICP Commander after his evaluation of the situation. 8. EOD. Following the actions at Paragraphs 6a, b and c, the EOD operator will then execute his Render Safe Procedure (RSP), or other actions he considers necessary. 9. On completion of the RSP the EOD operator may be required to: a. Collect or supervise collection of fragments for intelligence or forensic

purposes. b. Clear the area of explosive substances. Escort and route clearance tasks

may be necessary if the EOD operator is required to move quantities of explosives, or explosive items, to a disposal area.

10. The final action of the EOD Operator at the incident will be to advise the appropriate authorities of the status of the incident and issue a clearance certificate if required. AFTER ACTION 11. Agencies should, where possible, be briefed prior to departure from the site. Where circumstances require careful handling of information or media access, arrangements should be made for a formal statement to be given directly or at an arranged Press Conference. 12. The cordon and security measures will be maintained at an effective level until all agencies are clear of the area. 13. A post incident/operation report should be prepared after de-briefing, relating to incident management and EOD.

ANNEX E TO STANAG 2377 (Edition 2)

SAMPLE OF STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs) FOR EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD)

GENERAL 1. The object of these SOPs is to define general procedures for performing Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) in operations by the NATO Armed Forces. 2. EOD operational capabilities are to detect and effect the neutralisation of EOD incidents which, by their existence, impair the freedom of movement of combat units, disrupt lines of communications, degrade morale, or paralyse industrial complexes, seaports, waterways, air bases or population centres. While EOD operations extend throughout the rear areas and forward combat areas, it must be realised that the existence of EOD incidents in civilian areas will often have serious repercussions on the military situation. In such cases co-operation between military EOD units and national military and civilian officials will be essential. 3. Lessons from the past show a requirement that the following principles are observed: a. Reporting of all suspected EOD incidents to an appropriate EOR/EOD

authority so that the incident can be investigated by a person qualified to discredit false reports.

b. Reporting of confirmed EOD incidents to an appropriate EOD authority.

Minimum information requirements are shown at STANAG 2221. c. Categorization of EOD incidents is shown at Annex A to STANAG 2143.

Allocation of priorities for work within categories. d. Co-ordination of work of all available EOD units, to include re-deployment

as required. e. Rapid collection and dissemination of EOD intelligence. DEFINITIONS 4. Terms, definitions and categories are shown at Annex A to STANAG 2143.

(Further STANAGs and AEODPs under development will be added once agreed and promulgated). DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS 6. Procedures for EOD operations follow the following sequence: a. An untrained person locates what appears to be an EOD incident and

reports to an EOR trained person through appropriate channels. b. The EOR trained person confirms the EOD incident and reports it to the

EOD Control or the nearest EOD Team for action, and takes necessary EOR precautions until the EOD Team arrives.

c. The EOD Team begins the response and simultaneously notifies the EOD

Control. d. The EOD Control assigns the category based on priorities allocated by the

EOD Staff, and if appropriate, work priority, provides support and notifies the Command.

e. The EOD Staff provides additional support and advice as required, and if

appropriate, notifies the Command. FUNCTIONS FOR EOR PERSONNEL 7. EOR personnel are trained to be responsible for the investigation, location, marking, initial identification and reporting of suspected UXO/IED in order to determine further action by EOD. Their task includes, where necessary, recommending initial evacuation of personnel from the area of the incident, and other protective measures. FUNCTIONS OF THE EOD UNITS 8. EOD units perform detection, identification, field evaluation, render-safe, recovery and final disposal of UXO. The EOD Operator or his designated non-commissioned officer (NCO) is responsible for determining the proper EOD procedure:

Page 17: Stanag 2377Ed02

NATO/PfP UNCLASSIFIED

E - 4

1332E-01EOD2377(mv)

NATO/PfP UNCLASSIFIED

render-safe procedures (RSP) are to be accomplished only by the EOD unit, although this does not preclude technical specialists of other fields from rendering technical advice to the EOD units are required. Upon completion of a mission, the EOD unit is to notify and submit a report to the EOD Control Centre of actions taken. FUNCTIONS OF EOD CONTROL 9. The detailed functions performed by EOD Control are as follows: a. To operate an EOD Control Centre and to assign categories and specific

EOD missions based on priorities established by the EOD staff. b. To allocated EOD personnel and equipment. c. To provide operational and technical direction, and to co-ordinate support

such as air transport, military police, technical intelligence teams and engineer and decontamination equipment.

d. To evaluate activities of the EOD units and recommend distribution of

personnel and equipment to balance the workload. e. To conduct liaison with rear area operations and damage control centres,

and through them with local police forces and civil defence organisations. f. To alert EOD units during movement of nuclear, biological or chemical

explosive ordnance through their area. FUNCTIONS OF THE EOD STAFF OFFICER 10. The EOD Staff Officer is to be responsible to the commander for staff supervision of EOD activities, including recommendations for organization and deployment of EOD units, and location of EOD control centres. This responsibility also includes EOD planning, supervision of training, intelligence, co-ordination of operations and testing of mission capabilities. CIVIL - MILITARY CO-OPERATION 11. The basic principle of civil - military co-operation, namely that contact between Allied Military Forces and the national civil authorities shall be made through the national forces, will continue to be applied in all EOD requirements. 12. The procedures set out in this SOP should be made known to all national military and civil authorities, in order that they may co-ordinate their own procedures. 13. Provision should always be made for emergency situations in which it may be necessary for a local civil administration to make direct approach to neighbouring Allied Forces. 14. EOD Control should observe the basic principle in paragraph 11 to ensure full co-ordination of national military and civil EOR/EOD organizations.
