A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview
A Special Operations unrestricted line officer serves as a Special Operations officer through training in the EOD, DIV/SAL, and EOM functional areas. Officers with an EOD designator qualify through formal training and practical experience, develop expertise in explosives, diving, and parachuting, and render safe and dispose of explosive material.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 114X as: “An Unrestricted Line Officer who is qualified in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Warfare”
- The paired billet row (1140) is “requiring Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Warfare Qualification”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 114X officer.
- The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
