Course Introduction:

This advanced course is designed to provide trained breachers with comprehensive understanding and practical experience in the effective deployment of explosive breaching as a primary method of forced entry backed by secondary non-energetic breaching tools.  This curriculum provides participants with a unique opportunity to learn and practice the proper deployment of complete breaching packages for the purpose of achieving desired mission and breaching objectives.

This training specifically concentrates on the utilization of proper tactics and appropriate integration of explosive breaching into a wide range of missions to include: High Risk Search Warrants, Barricaded Suspects, Hostage Rescues, and Active Shooters.  Unlike any other breaching course, participants will be instructed, drilled, and tested in their ability to properly match and utilize explosive breaching based on various mission profiles. From the planning phases and briefs, to executions and debriefs, students will physically participate in each phase of simulated missions and be provided with optimal training platforms to combine and hone their tactical and breaching skills.

While the main concentration of the course is the implementation of Explosive Breaching, the course does involve some use of Manual, Mechanical, Ballistic, Thermal, and Hydraulic breaching
