Remote Training Program
The USBTA developed a Remote Training Program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, leveraging an online platform to train U.S. military EOD and public safety bomb technicians. So far, the program has successfully trained over 1,000 technicians across seven sessions. Key topics covered include HME (Homemade Explosives), EOD-10 donning and doffing procedures, 3D printing, safe area selection, and the latest updates from DHS REDOPS and FBI RAPID programs.
