Specialist EOD, IEDD, EOR and C-IED Training
Global Protection Group delivers specialist training for armed forces, ministries responsible for defence and internal security, law-enforcement agencies, government security services and organisations responding to threats involving explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices.
Our programmes are intended for military engineers, Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance personnel, EOD specialists, CMD and IEDD operators, demining units and personnel performing Military Search and C-IED duties.
Within an appropriately defined scope, training may also be delivered to selected international security and protective services companies providing services to government clients, critical infrastructure operators or organisations active in high-risk environments.
Each programme is tailored to the contracting organisation, participant qualifications, operational responsibilities, equipment and applicable procedures.
Scope of Training
Depending on participants’ competencies and the objectives of the contracting organisation, training may include:
- Military Search in varied operational and tactical environments;
- Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance, including recognition, initial assessment and reporting of explosive ordnance and hazardous items;
- C-IED awareness, force preparation and operational measures designed to mitigate IED-related threats;
- explosive threat search and screening of routes, vehicles, checkpoints, buildings, bases and designated areas;
- detection of explosives and hazardous substances using specialist equipment;
- recognition of electronic components and other elements that may be incorporated into explosive devices;
- Conventional Munitions Disposal, Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Improvised Explosive Device Disposal;
- use of specialist charges for the destruction or neutralisation of explosive ordnance and devices.
Training combines theoretical instruction, threat analysis, practical exercises and operational scenarios reflecting participants’ duties.
Training Areas
The programme is adapted to participants’ competencies, the purpose of the training and the level of specialisation required by the contracting organisation.
Military Search, EOR and C-IED
Programmes cover Military Search, explosive ordnance recognition, initial threat assessment, reporting, and the organisation of explosive threat search and screening activities.
The scope may include route, vehicle, checkpoint, building, base and area search activities, escalation procedures and coordination with specialist EOD elements.
C-IED modules strengthen the ability of personnel to recognise, avoid, report and respond appropriately to IED-related threats. They do not replace specialist EOD or IEDD training.
EOD, IEDD and CMD
These programmes are intended exclusively for suitably trained, qualified and authorised EOD, CMD and IEDD personnel.
Training may cover technical threat assessment, selection of appropriate procedures, disposal or destruction of conventional munitions, neutralisation of improvised explosive devices and the use of specialist equipment and charges.
Equipment and Operator Training
We provide equipment familiarisation and operator training involving EOD robots and remotely operated vehicles, EOD disruptors, hook-and-line systems, light and heavy bomb suits, explosive ordnance reconnaissance systems, ground-penetrating radar systems, portable X-ray equipment, and explosives and hazardous-substance detectors.
Programmes may be developed for specific equipment already operated or being introduced by the contracting organisation.
Training Tailored to the Unit or Organisation
The scope, level and methodology of each programme are adapted to the mandate of the unit, service or organisation, participant qualifications and authorisations, operational duties, standard operating procedures, available equipment and anticipated deployment environment.
Programmes may be configured for domestic or overseas requirements, including operations affected by armed conflict, terrorist threats, unexploded ordnance, abandoned explosive ordnance or improvised explosive devices.
Advanced modules involving render-safe procedures, specialist charges or the neutralisation of explosive devices are delivered exclusively to appropriately trained, qualified and authorised personnel, in accordance with applicable legal, safety and organisational requirements.
