Bomb Disposal Squad — Organization

Description

The Bomb Disposal Squad operates as a specialized technical unit within Earth's security apparatus, tasked with neutralizing explosive threats and handling hazardous materials incidents. As a frontline emergency response team, their personnel receive rigorous training in disarmament protocols and rapid assessment of volatile situations. The squad's existence is weaponized by the Daleks, who duplicate members to deploy as pawns guarding captured assets on Earth. These duplicated operatives function as decoys, eliminating surveillance risks while disguising the Daleks' true occupation of strategic locations. Their deployment reflects the invaders' tactical preference for manipulating human institutions rather than direct confrontation, using institutional trust against itself.
