 I'm Sergeant First Class Jesse Schaefer, I'm an OC with 1-3-10 BEB 181 Infantry Brigade and we're here at the demo range doing engineer operations with our partner unit. Today we're working with elements of the 863rd engineer battalion to include the down trace unit 428th area clearance platoon. So we're working with light and heavy demolitions basically just to recertify our engineer OCs here as well as get the partner unit involved to be able to cross train and lend our expertise and our experience to our partner unit because they don't get to come out and touch demo as much as they like for engineers. So we don't have any Opsicles out here but what we do have is basic confidence shots so that's going to be a line main and then ring main where they're going to tie into blocks of C4 into that as branch lines to be able to kind of get that confidence booster hey we know our demolitions work and this is how we prime this is how our process is to basically just get those basic shots down. After that we move into the larger demolitions which is going to be a group of shape charges which is going to put a big hole in the ground to be able to put larger explosives into which is the cratering charges and that is going to create an obstacle to doctrinal standards. And what is the purpose of all this training and the broader sense of our mission specifically like for say combat operations or what have you? So as combat engineers one of our main jobs is demolitions right that is to either reduce obstacles or create obstacles whether that's concertina wire, tank traps, minefields things like that so engineers have to be proficient in demolitions right whether that's again these basic couple blocks of C4 all the way up to a cratering charge to be able to create a larger obstacle so for unified land operations we are the people that go into the breach in that breach is normally obstacle laden whether that's to stop tanks or personnel we have to go in and create that hole for the maneuver element to get through. No. Do you have a unisend offer like motto you want to supply? It's good for the bridge. Take the bridge.
