The Navy will stand up an explosive ordnance disposal rating next month for the relatively small number of reservists — fewer than 100 — who are trained in the field.

The rating will initially be manned by reservists from different Navy Reserve communities who hold NECs 5332 through 5337, but Master Chief Petty Officer Don Siegel, an enlisted community manager technical adviser at Navy Personnel Command in Millington, Tenn., said there are not enough trained reservists to fill those slots.
