5.3 TACTICAL HAZARDS RESPONSE AND EXPLOSIVES AWARENESS TRAINING – CHEMICAL (THREAT-C)

Responding to an explosive threat in a chemical environment creates unique challenges that can quickly overwhelm both the individual technician and the Incident Command System. Our course addresses the critical gaps that exist in bomb technicians training in a chemical environment/threat and the HAZMAT technicians IED awareness/ability to support bomb squad operations during the incident. This makes THREAT-C unique and indispensable for bomb squads, National Guard Civil Support Team (CST), HAZMAT Response Force (HRF) units, HAZMAT units and incident managers.

For CST units the course provides survey teams with the advanced IED and EH (Explosive Hazard) recognition, safety, and safe search protocols as well as integration with local BDU/EOD teams for response support to the local community.

For BDU/EOD teams, the course provides an initial to refresher level training on bomb disposal operations in a chemical hazard environment. Remote detection strategies, atmospheric hazards, mitigation techniques, and integrated operations with CST/HAZMAT units are also covered.

By providing a staged program, both the individual and unit tasks are brought into a final integrated response curriculum that assists not only the development of individual skills, but the collective development of interagency operation plans and training.

Features• Complete awareness course designed for all BDU/CST/

HAZMAT/and HRF unit personnel. – IED/Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) technical

response in a chemical environment. – Safe response/search techniques for IED/WMD/EH threats

Pre-Requisites• Advanced electronics course.• Must be a member of US law enforcement accredited bomb squad, SWAT, or other tactical

law enforcement team.


5.5 MILITARY ORDNANCE SAFETY COURSE (C-IED)

Due to recent alignments of military EOD teams away from many communities they previously served, the coverage and support available to law enforcement bomb squads in the realm of military ordnance can be days or even weeks. Public safety professionals cannot afford to wait without knowing and understanding the risks.

The CP2S Raven Division Military Ordnance Safety Course (MOS-C) provides bomb squad technicians with the basic identification and safety procedures for US and foreign ordnance found commonly found in the US. The program will enable the public safety bomb squad technician to safely recon the ordnance, report accurately back to the military EOD unit, and understand the associated hazards and appropriate safe distances. Grenades, bombs, mortars, sub munitions, rockets, projectiles, booby traps, and other military munitions are covered. Critical attention is given to those articles which are inherently dangerous and those that have become dangerous over time due to the explosive filler degradation. Classroom and training lanes with inert replicas of military ordnance and other items commonly reported as military ordnance (flares, sonar buoys, etc).

Features• CD and booklet handouts to help with future identification and reporting of military

ordnance and associated hazards.• Pocket safety cards.• Classroom and practical one day course.

Course Includes• Optional military ordnance recognition and safety kit (realistic but inert training aids) for

future public safety.

Pre-Requisites• Must be currently assigned to law enforcement bomb squad or military EOD unit, or

approved public safety officials accompanied by law enforcement bomb squad.


5.6 MARITIME IED RESPONSE (C-IED)

IED incident response in a maritime environment creates many unique challenges not commonly prepared for by EOD/BDU technicians and commanders.

Confined space operations, hot work, environmental considerations, blast wave channeling and secondary effects, shipboard systems and hazards, access challenges, HAZMAT, and others all combine to create a potentially lethal combination for the EOD/BDU technician and a complex planning challenge for the commanders.

The CP2S Raven Division’s unique two day course addresses the team leaders’ requirements for correct scene and tactical approach assessment. In addition, the course provides practical drills for the entire team to enable them to safely operate in the unfamiliar environment. RSPs are covered along with mitigation strategies and secondary effects from the shipboard structure.

Command / Team Leader The decisions made by the commander for the management of the scene are critical to the overall success of the operation. Day 1 is dedicated to providing the Commander and Team Leaders required planning considerations, best practices for evaluating the potential hazards, and identifying support organizations that can assist in eliminating, mitigating, and/or monitoring those hazards. Shipboard structures and hazards are covered, as well as entry and exit strategy planning. Access overview to many shipboard areas are covered. Confined space operational familiarization is reviewed, along with HAZMAT dangers common to most ships.

Explosive EffectsThe geometry and materials of performing any procedure in a ship create hazards not normally encountered on land. Our Maritime IED Response course includes a discussion of blast wave characteristics and propagation as well as venting and redirection procedures.

Practical DrillsThe equipment utilized for safe entry, unique challenges with transporting, setting up, and extracting common tools in a shipboard environment is practiced to instill in the individual and the team the importance of preparation and adaptability in responding to a Maritime IED incident on a ship. The drills will allow the teams to practice skills learned during the course and utilize existing equipment to devise solutions. These hands-on practicums afford an opportunity


for units to identify additional equipment that may be needed. Support such as the Coast Guard, longshore personnel, vessel engineers, electricians, and other relevant personnel are identified and their roles in supporting the overall safety and success of the response is defined as part of the drill.

Pre-Requisites• Course must include one Bomb Disposal Unit. Additional public safety personnel in port-

support functions are invited to participate in the drill portion.


5.7 MASS TRANSIT SECURITY FROM TERRORIST INCIDENTS (SEARCH)

Since 1990 there have been only 17 deaths due to WMD (Tokyo) yet over 10,000 civilian IED deaths. The reality in the world is that IEDs are the weapon of choice for terrorist organizations of all backgrounds. Transportation attacks represents a major portion of these casualty figures. Buses and trains are more valuable as targets than tanks and soldiers to terrorist organizations. As such, our goal is to provide a current and realistic view of terrorist use of IEDs. Our personnel have a thorough knowledge of IEDs and WMDs and bring a critical skill set to the transportation workers.

Detection, identification, along with mitigation, evacuation, transporting, recovery, and return to normal will be met and exceeded in the standards set by DHS. Realistic training aids and historical examples combined with real life experience provide transportation workers with an unmatched training experience.

officials.


5.8 INTENSIVE TERRORISM AND IED RESPONSE PACKAGE (THAILAND)

The potential for modern IED attacks within the US increases every day. Groups employing IEDs can come from any background, technical level, or motivation. Thailand currently has the most lethal IED paradigms in any peacetime country. Three provinces in Southern Thailand have more IED attacks than anywhere else on the planet, including Afghanistan and Israel. Additionally, the IEDs are very sophisticated and attacks have produced a casualty rate on par with Iraq. These figures come not from a war zone, but a society that resembled many towns and cities in the US until a few years ago.

In order to present this paradigm effectively to emergency responders and planners within the US, it is necessary to partner experienced planners and responders from America with their Thai counterparts. The Thailand IED five day training package consists of two unique programs designed to educate management and technical personnel. Each program will highlight the unique challenges and support roles necessary for managers and technicians to provide true preparedness and response capability to an IED paradigm.

This 5 day program will encompass the following:1. SEARCH and THREAT mitigation techniques.2. Intelligence challenges. 3. Incident Command in an IED environment. 4. Roles for volunteer civilian organizations.5. Realistic risk and vulnerability assessments. 6. Planning considerations for modern terrorist attacks. 7. Community impact, mitigation, and recovery. 8. Public Affairs challenges during and after terrorist operations. 9. Impacts on private industry and potential security challenges. 10. IED precursors, components, and effectiveness of different IED techniques. 11. Thorough IED Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) in a modern urban

environment. 12. Disruption and RSP from the Thai vantage point. 13. Incident Command and scene assessment techniques. 14. Security search. 15. Forensics challenges and post blast operations 16. Terrorist cell and IED support structures.

5.9 RAVENS CHALLENGE TM

Ravens ChallengeTM has been described as the “Super Bowl” of EOD and C-IED events, combining multi-jurisdictional, multi-service, and multi-national EOD teams and C-IED professionals in a multi-day event. Unlike any other event, Ravens ChallengeTM allows EOD teams to practice as part of realistic IED scenarios with functional training aids that replicate real world IED incidents. Commanders can select from the “menu” of IED incident types to complete and / or facilitate their training requirements for that cycle. From Large Vehicle Born IEDs to Hostage Rescue Scenarios, Ravens ChallengeTM facilitates the difficult training that most units do not have the time and or budget to complete on their own. The scenarios are compatible with the U.S. Army’s Team Leader and other certification and revalidation programs.

Ravens ChallengeTM also brings the supporting agencies and departments to the multi day event. Each device has been made by one of multiple “bomb makers” to allow for a program that exercises and validates the forensic collection, analysis, and reporting, further strengthening the C-IED program and interoperability training for EOD units with Forensics and Bomb Data Center programs. K-9, SWAT, and HAZMAT scenarios also facilitate interoperability between EOD teams for a variety of incidents involving those support elements.

Seminars and workshops are also scheduled during the Ravens ChallengeTM to allow participants to increase and update their global awareness and professional development regarding IEDs and EOD and C-IED efforts.

Finally, Ravens ChallengeTM provides vendor demonstrations and evaluation opportunities. Teams can watch vendor demonstrations and have the rare ability to utilize a variety of new equipment while conducting the IED lanes training allowing a unique opportunity to evaluate potential purchases.


5.10 SEMINARS/WEBINARS

The threat and consequence management due to the terrorism landscape is continually changing. Methods of attacks and rising threats from terrorist groups are evolving. Staying on top of those trends and having access to experts who can provide answers to critical questions concerning your organization’s security needs is a necessity. Within today’s environment, not all decision makers and managers are able to attend multi-day training sessions, and the intensive information and decision making workshops at the municipal, regional, and state levels are often left out. Other programs deal vaguely with the terrorist threats to focus on an “all hazard” approach, which in many cases does not apply to terrorist response in some key areas.

CP2S also has specialized in-person and online courses for organizations. Raven Division seminars and webinars are an excellent way to “stay on top of” the latest developments that can affect safety planning and organizational operation.

Examples of Webinars Available Awareness courses and specialized knowledge base webinars including:

• IEDs in Southern Thailand, an Overview.• IED Use in Civil Unrest and Protest Movements; A View From Thailand and Russia.• Waterborne IEDs, an Overview of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) Boat Bombs

from Sri Lanka.• Shaheed Not-Suicide Terrorism.• Public Affairs and Terrorist Incidents.• History of US Bombing — The Early Years.• Global IED Review.• Trends in EOD/BDU from Thailand. Response to threats and lessons learned.• Medical Response Lessons from Thailand — critical care with minimal equipment. • Community Awareness — how community policing can be one of the most valuable tools. • Anti-Human Trafficking.
