00:00.325 --> 00:03.242
(empowering music)

00:08.402 --> 00:11.069
(tape crackles)

00:12.614 --> 00:15.270
(hand squeaks)

00:15.270 --> 00:16.790
- I'm the Second
Lieutenant Robert Hibbett,

00:16.790 --> 00:17.790
with Apocalypse Troop,

00:17.790 --> 00:20.450
we're the Engineer Troop
for the Battle Group.

00:20.450 --> 00:22.090
Today we're conducting urban demo range,

00:22.090 --> 00:24.420
we constructed urban breaching charges

00:24.420 --> 00:27.700
out of det cord, and which
we use to breach doors,

00:27.700 --> 00:29.720
windows and walls in an urban environment.

00:29.720 --> 00:31.830
In doing so we can help gain dynamic entry

00:31.830 --> 00:34.080
for our dismounts as well as the infantry.

00:34.080 --> 00:36.710
The first five doors that
we'll be utilizing today

00:36.710 --> 00:39.860
with the five different charges
will just show the soldiers

00:39.860 --> 00:42.270
what over-pressure feels
like up close and personal

00:42.270 --> 00:43.690
on top of the breach.

00:43.690 --> 00:45.200
And then when it comes to the shoot-house

00:45.200 --> 00:47.450
we'll be conducting three different blows

00:47.450 --> 00:51.000
with the same charge, for
three different sampler squads,

00:51.000 --> 00:51.870
and then they will conduct

00:51.870 --> 00:55.030
an urban, dynamic entry on those areas.

00:55.030 --> 00:57.555
Blowin' up some doors and
gettin' in some rooms.

00:57.555 --> 00:58.390
- [Soldier] Fire in the hole!

00:58.390 --> 00:59.263
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole!

01:00.683 --> 01:01.516
(gunfire cracks)

01:01.516 --> 01:02.349
(explosion booms)

01:02.349 --> 01:04.441
(explosion booms)

01:04.441 --> 01:07.842
(gunfire cracks)

01:07.842 --> 01:10.809
(explosion booms)

01:10.809 --> 01:11.694
(aggressive music)

01:11.694 --> 01:14.361
- [Soldier] All right, let's go!

01:15.802 --> 01:16.635
Stand right back!

01:16.635 --> 01:17.468
No one!

01:17.468 --> 01:18.980
- We're engineers, we get tasked-out

01:18.980 --> 01:21.050
with a lot of building obstacle,

01:21.050 --> 01:22.400
and defeating of obstacles.

01:22.400 --> 01:23.900
There's a lot of areas that engineers

01:23.900 --> 01:26.240
aren't known to do, and
this has been one of them.

01:26.240 --> 01:28.550
Back in the States we
don't get to do this a lot.

01:28.550 --> 01:31.980
We have a lot of focus,
being a mechanized unit,

01:31.980 --> 01:34.030
on the whole obstacles scenario

01:34.030 --> 01:35.930
this is giving our soldiers
a chance to actually

01:35.930 --> 01:38.880
expand on what their MOS actually entails.

01:38.880 --> 01:39.860
- We got some great training

01:39.860 --> 01:42.600
on how it is to stand up really close,

01:42.600 --> 01:44.510
and you know, using that
minium safe distance,

01:44.510 --> 01:46.010
and feel what it's like too,

01:46.010 --> 01:48.397
right up next to the doors as it goes.

01:48.397 --> 01:51.078
(gunfire cracks)

01:51.078 --> 01:52.622
(soldiers laugh)

01:52.622 --> 01:53.782
(foot thuds against door)

01:53.782 --> 01:55.119
(soldiers laugh)

01:55.119 --> 01:57.702
- [Soldier] Job, good job lads.
