IRISH "IEDD"
TEAM - (IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVISE DISPOSAL)
Irish personnel provide the
IEDD team on six month rotation with KFOR. They
are based in MNTF (C) HQ, Lipljan.
The first IEDD team was with the 27th Inf Gp and had no badge, 28th Inf Gp and each subsequent
team designed their own. In general the badge design is a team effort,
I have indicated where it is an individual effort.
The IEDD team, 29 Inf Gp changed their design because the Irish Flag was was
already being worn as the National Badge. Variations may be found
but I believe that they were sample badges and the badges actually worn are
those below.
