This is a picture from Concord Publications book (7518) "Iraq insurgency, US Army armored vehicles in action Part 1":
As the description says It depicts Humvee used by US Army EOD team, photographed in Tall Afar in August 2005. I've got questions:
- which unit does this Humvee belong to?
- is this badge from GPK (exploding bomb) a badge of this unit, or could it be a personal badge of thic particular vehicle?
- has anybody got any more photos of this vehicle or better picture of this badge?
- has anybody got photos of any EOD teams' Humvees?
Cheers

Interesting use of what appears to be the Contact Maintenance configuration of the M1097.

I've got some interior pics of a similar vehicle : the tool chests have been removed to make room for a Talon EOD robot.
