1
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:06,510
- We are out here training squads from 33

2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:09,270
on IED confirmation and recognition.

3
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:11,620
We set up the IED lanes.

4
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:14,701
We started off with a period
of instruction for each squad

5
00:00:14,701 --> 00:00:17,810
on how to use the CMD and sickle,

6
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:19,580
and some techniques that we use.

7
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:22,820
As far as marking and recording up to EOD,

8
00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:25,390
once they were on the IED lanes,

9
00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:28,340
we gave them the tools
and they would go down

10
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:31,140
identify and then confirm the presence

11
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:32,720
of a possible hazard.

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,610
They would step back, give their report up

13
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:39,410
and then they would
follow on to the next site

14
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:41,350
and continue their training.

15
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:43,430
- A lot of it is attention to detail.

16
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:46,091
Trying to see little
wires and metal pieces

17
00:00:46,091 --> 00:00:48,280
in the ground that you
might not normally see,

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,483
maybe something shining.

19
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:52,829
But yeah I'd say mainly attention

20
00:00:52,829 --> 00:00:54,933
to details the biggest factor in this.

21
00:00:55,911 --> 00:00:57,390
We're out here doing like
counter IED training.

22
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,510
So we've learned how to
use the metal detectors

23
00:00:59,510 --> 00:01:01,840
to like pick up on
possible IEDs that could be

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,550
in the ground and then
how to use the Holly Stick

25
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:06,350
to pull out wires and to
kinda clear up our paths

26
00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:08,600
so that we can patrol through them.

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,560
So when they, these guys go out there,

28
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,110
you know they have a
lot of responsibility.

29
00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:14,363
They've gotta know how to shoot, move,

30
00:01:15,331 --> 00:01:17,760
communicate and they've
gotta do all that very well.

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,950
Our job is to reduce the explosive hazard.

32
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:20,810
Letting them do this.

33
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:22,980
Letting them patrol, you know,

34
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:24,610
get to their objective safely.

35
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:26,993
So once they identify
this potential explosive.

36
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,570
Being able to call us and we
go out their and mitigate that,

37
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:32,811
you know by rendering safe whatever,

38
00:01:32,811 --> 00:01:35,330
possible explosive hazard
they have, allow them

39
00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:37,472
to continue on with their mission.

40
00:01:37,472 --> 00:01:39,791
(upbeat music)

41
00:01:39,791 --> 00:01:42,958
(closing theme sound)
