Description: This one-week course is comprised of seven modules which complement each other in the understanding of maritime aspects in contribution to Operational Planning and control of Joint Operations. Each lecture ends with an interactive Q & A to enable students to develop and consolidate their understanding of the subject topic. Panel discussions will be used to enable in-depth conversations with more than one lecturer, thereby allowing contrasting viewpoints to be aired. Course material will be given upon completion for reference.

Lectures are designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of the content being presented and are followed by brief, moderated Q&A sessions. Apart from these lectures, small syndicates will perform table top exercises and provide back briefs to amplify the class. Multimedia tools are used in a balanced and constructive combination to enhance internalization of information.

The IED, as an established explosive threat to military and other operations, will undoubtedly continue to feature as a weapon of choice against our forces and populations in the future as it does now. Past and current experiences have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of the IED in all types of situation, including at sea and in ports, where the accepted concepts of IEDD and Force Protection are being challenged in order to better combat the IED threat and provide responses capable of returning the situation to normal as safely and competently as possible.

In order to better understand how to conduct M-IEDD operations in the Maritime Operating Environment the challenges and limitations imposed by the environment have to be considered and understood. In pursuing a viable concept to apply to M-IEDD operations, accepted principles of operation and best practices developed over many years in the land domain cannot be set aside by those with maritime jurisdiction, but rather they must be considered and then employed to underpin a M-IEDD concept for the development of Techniques Tactics and Procedures (TTPs), as appropriate.

Furthermore, NMIOTC has developed this course in accordance with NATO standards and guidelines aiming at mitigating the IED threat focusing mostly on the “Defeat the Device (DtD)” line of effort which is a critical supporting function necessary to preserve the Alliance Center of Gravity (CoG) by minimizing casualties. This M-IEDD Course intends to cover the decisive condition in order to respond to operational requirements to provide IEDD training capability to all Nations and Partners.

This course aims to educate and train qualified EOD personnel to competently undertake M-IEDD operations on-board vessels and other maritime infrastructure in support of C-IED or other Maritime Operations.

On completion of the Course, students will be able to:

  1. Understand the IED threat in the context of maritime and related operations and how the basic principles of IEDD can be successfully applied to task resolution.
  2. Understand the core and specialist subject knowledge including: specialist skills and render, safe techniques in support of M-IEDD.
  3. Understand the significance of the related subjects of search and site exploitation (e.g. evidence preservation and collection, considerations during M-IEDD tasks).
  4. Plan M-IEDD operations, including: task appreciation, appraisal of tactical considerations in respect of the operating environment, M-IEDD team make-up, required resources, access and requisite on-board actions.
