Which procedure is NOT typically part of EOD operations?

Conducting surveillance is not typically a procedure associated with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations. EOD focuses primarily on identifying, rendering safe, and disposing of explosive devices and materials. The core tasks of EOD personnel include neutralizing explosives, rendering safe potentially dangerous devices, and performing the proper disposal of explosive materials. These functions are vital to ensuring safety and mitigating threats posed by unexploded ordnance or improvised explosive devices.

While surveillance can be an important aspect of broader military operations, especially in intelligence gathering or reconnaissance, it is not a standard procedure directly related to the execution of EOD. EOD specialists are trained to handle explosive threats rather than conduct surveillance or reconnaissance missions.
