Dorjan Isufi, measures an unexploded munition during a practical problem – an EOD process that uses munition replicas to test future EOD technicians at Peze Helmes, Republic of Albania, Sept. 23, 2014. In September 2014, members of the 177th Fighter Wing Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, New Jersey Air National Guard, trained Albanian Army EOD soldiers to become level 1 EOD trainers. New Jersey National Guard Airmen and Soldiers have been training their Albanian counterparts for more than 20 years as part of the State Partnership Program between the state of New Jersey and the Republic of Albania.
