The 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD) is one of three explosive ordnance disposal groups of the United States Army.

Subordinate units maintain EOD response teams, which evaluate, render safe, and dispose of conventional, chemical/biological, or nuclear ordnance, or improvised explosive devices (IEDs). While subordinate units are trained and equipped for combat operations, they also support peacetime missions, including range surface clearance operations of active U.S. Army installations, support of civilian law enforcement agencies, and support to the U.S. Secret Service for protection of VIPs.[1]

The current command team consists of Colonel Matthew L. Kuhns and Command Sergeant Major Isaac J. Allender.
