Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) forces are assigned under one of the two operational Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group (EODGRU) commands. EODGRU ONE is task organized within Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) and Commander, U.S. Third Fleet, and reports administratively to Commander, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). EODGRU ONE provides centralized planning, coordination and integration of subordinate EOD and Mobile Diving & Salvage (MDS) forces relating to readiness, training, administration, and logistics.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this course of instruction is to provide ExMCM Company Command and Control (C2) leadership with a basic understanding of the Mark-18 (MK-18) Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Family of Systems (FoS) and how the C2 leadership can best tactically employ the MK18 system to meet current operational requirements set forth by EOD, numbered fleets and Geographic Combatant Commanders. The MK-18 UUV FoS is a critical component of the ExMCM company used to initiate the detect-to-engage sequence during MCM operations; to conduct seabed reconnaissance/ intelligence preparation of the operational environment (IPOE); and to conduct search operations for objects of interest on the seafloor and in the water column. These operations require thorough planning, diligent tracking and watch-standing, and coordination with the other components of the ExMCM company, as well as other units involved in the operation.

Each course shall consist of five days of tactical employment of the MK-18 UUV FoS based on current operational requirements of EOD forces, current and future technology used by EOD forces, and EOD/numbered fleets & Combatant Commanders guidance. Each course shall accommodate 10 students for a total of 20 students per period of performance.
