Understanding the Kit and Basics

1. Introduction to EOD Basics
  • Role and Responsibilities: Overview of EOD operators' role in military scenarios, focusing on detecting, disarming, and safely disposing of explosives.
  • Safety Protocols:
    • Always maintain a blast radius of 40-50 meters.
    • Announce “Fire in the Hole” three times before detonation.
  • In-game Notes:
    • Vanilla C4: Triggers all nearby explosives.
    • Modded M112 C4: Triggers only the targeted explosive.
2. Equipment Overview
  • C4 Demolition Blocks (M112):
    • Types: Taped, Desert, & standard.
    • Kit setup: Each operator carries 5 of each type. Mission depended for maximum camouflage
  • Detonators:
    • Required for the class: 100 meters of detonator cord. need at least 3 detonators each, for more clean detonation on multiple c4s
  • Minesweepers:
    • Usage: Detect mines and clear paths.
    • Detection Protocol:
      • Two operators synchronize movements in a half-moon sway pattern.
      • Priority: Equip jeeps/convoys with minesweepers.
  • In-game Practice:
    • Loadouts setup and live practice in detecting, planting, and detonating explosives.

Part 2: Situational Awareness and Reporting


1. Caution and Environmental Awareness

  • Spotting Traps:
    • Recognizing potential hazards in routes and convoys.
    • Hands-on exercise: Set up mock traps for trainees to identify and neutralize.
  • Convoy Security:
    • Emphasis on paying attention to detail while traveling in groups.
    • Ensure EOD vehicles are properly equipped with tools.
