(A disclaimer - I'm a Finnish NCO, and while I do know a thing or two about US EOD teams I'm not familiar with all the details)
EOD teams usually have a team leader (SSG or such) and two team members, so that is correct in the film. EOD teams are pretty independent in their own trade, but they are never on their own (hopefully). The team is very light, and has to resort to larger units for all classes of support - and security.
One of the things I just couldn't take in the film was the fact that they strolled around like tourists.
