Prevail's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams are at the forefront of the collaborative effort to support Ukrainian demining initiatives. Working in close coordination with the National Police of Ukraine EOD department and various other Ukrainian agencies, these teams operate on the ground across the country, tirelessly striving to eliminate the pervasive threats of landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other explosive hazards.

The significance of clearance operations in areas previously marred by conflict cannot be overstated. As these operations unfold, the primary objective is to render these regions safe for civilians eager to return to their homes and properties. Beyond safeguarding individuals, Prevail's efforts also extend to protecting critical infrastructure, such as power grids, communication networks, and water facilities, from the looming specter of explosive threats.

The multifaceted nature of Prevail's mission is underscored by its commitment to not only neutralizing existing hazards but also preventing potential risks. Abandoned equipment and weapons, remnants of past conflicts, are meticulously cleared from the ground. This proactive approach not only minimizes the possibilities of accidental detonations but also serves as a deterrent against potential criminal or terrorist activities seeking to exploit these abandoned resources.

In a comprehensive approach to support law enforcement and government agencies, Prevail engages in a range of activities. Surveys and assessments form a crucial aspect, providing invaluable insights into the extent of the explosive threat landscape. Training programs are designed to enhance the skills of local personnel involved in demining operations, ensuring a sustainable and empowered response to the challenges at hand. Clearance operations, which involve the systematic removal of explosive hazards, are executed with precision and expertise.

In essence, Prevail's contribution extends far beyond immediate demining efforts. It is a holistic endeavor that encompasses risk mitigation, infrastructure protection, and capacity building for local authorities. By combining field operations with strategic support, Prevail plays a pivotal role in fostering a safer and more secure environment for the people of Ukraine.
