Course Objectives:
The training provided to each student is based on the premise that "the Breachers" primary responsibility is to effect entry for the team using the minimum amount of force necessary. Each student is tested on their ability to select the appropriate "method of entry" based on the situation
and the target assigned, build and employ a variety of breaching charges, and calculate the N.E.W. of each charge. They will perform several practical exercises in a wide array of situations and be evaluated on a final exercise as part of a team. Using initiative based tactics, each team will be graded on everything from the initial planning phase through the post assault phase. Further, each student will be graded on the selection of breaching methods
based on the "escalation of force" principle from mechanical and shotgun to explosive breaching techniques.
