Mastering the Most Up-to-Date Techniques

As part of the classroom instruction, the Polish experts introduced the components needed to make IEDs at home, and the tactics that are most often used by the insurgent. In a realistic environment, the participants had opportunity to practice area search at short halts during marches, and the techniques for approaching vulnerable points (VPs). The soldiers went on a dismounted patrol on a pre-arranged training course, where they had to find an artillery shell set up as an IED and the mines concealed by their instructors on a designated route.

At the end of the training, the soldiers – who are manning the gate entry control points on a daily basis – were given useful advice on how to check vehicles arriving at the camp, and practiced the search of a car.
