Navy Region Hawaii is the regional coordinator for all shore-based naval personnel and shore activities in Hawaii. This means that they are responsible for overseeing the operations of various naval units and facilities located on the islands of Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa. They also serve as the Navy's representative to the Hawaii community, working closely with local government agencies and organizations to ensure that the needs of both the Navy and the community are met.

MDSU-1 Detachment EOD is a unit within Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit ONE (MDSU-1), which is responsible for providing diving and salvage services to the U.S. Navy and other government agencies. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group (EOD) is a specialized unit within MDSU-1 that is responsible for identifying, marking, and disposing of explosive devices and other hazardous materials.

During the site visit, Capt. Carlson likely spoke with the Sailors assigned to MDSU-1 Detachment EOD about their operations, training, and equipment. He may have also discussed any ongoing projects or initiatives related to their mission, as well as any challenges or concerns they are facing in their work. By providing guidance and support, Capt. Carlson can help ensure that the Sailors are able to carry out their duties effectively and safely.
