Marine EOD Veteran on Surviving War & Healing After TBI | Hart Holmberg V
The mission changes… but warriors keep moving forward.
Some warriors fight battles long after the war ends.
On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, hosts Jake Holland and Stephen LaMonica sit down with US Marine Corps Veteran Hartvig Holmberg V—a retired Master Sergeant whose 24-year career took him from Light Armored Reconnaissance to the elite world of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD).
Hartvig joined the Marines in 1997 as a Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Crewman, serving with the 15th and 13th Marine Expeditionary Units and deploying to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Later, he answered another calling.
He attended EOD School in Florida, graduating in 2009, and went on to serve with:
• Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF)
• 3rd EOD Company
• CLB 26
• MWSS 272
His deployments as an EOD technician included Afghanistan (OEF 13.2) and multiple deployments with the 26th MEU.
After retiring in 2021 as a Master Sergeant, Hartvig didn’t stop serving.
Today he is:
• A contract instructor
• Part owner of Corvus Training Group V
• President of the EOD Motorcycle Club
But perhaps his most important mission has been personal.
Hartvig openly shares his ongoing healing journey after multiple traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—learning self-awareness, growth, and recovery through programs like Warrior PATHH and Track Heroes.
This is a powerful conversation about combat, brotherhood, identity, trauma, healing, and continuing the mission after service.
