SOF Explosive Entry II

SOF Explosive Entry II builds on foundational method-of-entry skills with advanced charge construction, shockwave mechanics, and combat-simulated drills on complex targets — wall charges, window charges, and simultaneous entry TTPs that EE I doesn’t reach. Building upon foundational knowledge, this course refines explosive theory, applied physics, and real-world breaching techniques to enhance tactical effectiveness. This hands-on training reinforces core breaching principles while introducing advanced methodologies through combat-simulated drills on complex targets — strengthening explosive selection and placement strategies for optimal energy transfer while minimizing net explosive weight (NEW) and maintaining maximum effectiveness and safety.

SOF EE II training progresses from chemistry of explosives and detonations through applied physics, shockwave mechanics and propagation, and advanced charge construction — then into live iterations on internal door, external door, external window, and wall charges with deliberate, hasty, and emergency assault procedures. Overpressure and fragmentation mapping, simultaneous entry TTPs, and misfire and failed breach procedures are integrated throughout. All breaching runs on T1G’s purpose-built breaching facilities — dual breach houses with backside support personnel rebuilding one house while students breach the other. EE II builds directly on the Explosive Entry I foundation. Operators pursuing master-level certification progress to the Master Breacher Course.
