19 May 2018. R3 was a proud event sponsor for the 3rd annual Navy EOD Association Tidewater Chapter Golf Tournament at NAS Oceana Virginia.
This year’s event raised approximately $11,000 to support the 2018 East and West Coast EOD Family Day events later this year. Scott Treible and Rich Hastings (middle two) played alongside active duty EOD Technicians in a foursome with suspect score reporting.
Ken Normand, Program Manager for R3’s Explosive Risk Mitigation Division, was recognized by Mr. John Lenox, Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board’s Director of Military Operations, with a Certificate of Appreciation for his efforts to identify and mitigate munitions-related risk at Ammunition Supply Points (ASPs) in South Korea. The photo shows the international, inter-agency team that supported this effort.
R3 is pleased to have been selected by the National Association of Ordnance Contractors (NAOC) member companies to represent the organization as a Board Member for 2018-2019. Eleven Directors are elected by the more than 70 NAOC member companies at the annual membership meeting. NAOC was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization to act as a unified industry voice representing the issues facing its membership in the rapidly expanding business of military munitions response services.
The 21 founding members were UXO service companies. Over the years, membership has expanded to include companies that provide and perform ancillary services to include geophysical services, detection equipment, analytical laboratories, regulatory support and related environmental/engineering services. Our support to NAOC complements our longstanding role with the National Defense Industrial Association EOD Committee and our support to organizations facing unexploded ordnance threats.
Ken Normand, R3’s Explosive Risk Mitigation Program Manager, represents our company as a Director on the Board. NOAC supports and endorses the EOD Warrior Foundation and its mission to improve the quality of life for the EOD family.
