Jeff O'Connor, a now retired U.S. Navy Master Chief, founded Explosive Ops Gear (EOG) in 2007 after returning home from his second deployment to Baghdad, Iraq. He is a decorated veteran of multiple combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of world's most elite bomb squad, U.S. Navy EOD.

Jeff's combat experience helped him to identify the needs of the modern warrior on the battlefield and in June of 2007 he released the first commercial NVG counter weight on the U.S. market and quickly grew the line to six models.

His expertise in counter-terrorism, Improvised Explosive Devices, explosive breaching, and threat mitigation have also made him a sought out trainer, speaker and consultant to both military and law enforcement organizations.

EOG now offers a full line of 100% Berry Amendment compliant, American Made gear as well as world class special operations training and consulting.

All of EOG's products are backed by a lifetime guarantee.
