Homemade Explosives Course – Basic Mobile Training Team mission completed

The NATO EOD COE successfully conducted two Mobile Training Team iterations of the Homemade Explosives Course – Basic (HMEC-B) at the 15th Engineer Regiment in Bechyne by request from the Czech Armed Forces.

The HMEC-B curriculum is focused on the initial recognition of homemade explosives. Trainees receive information about the sensitivity and functionality of the chemicals and precursors involved, as well as the appropriate measures to take when such agents are discovered. Each iteration lasted for three days and included a field demonstration. The first iteration was conducted from 13 - 15 MAY 2025, while the second iteration took place from 20 - 22 MAY, 2025.

32 participants from the Czech Republic Army successfully completed the course and expressed their appreciation for the excellent support provided by the 15th Engineer Regiment.
