The facility will include electronic classrooms with workbenches, equipment and ordnance storage, equipment maintenance space, offices, and common areas. Building construction to include: reinforced foundation and slab-on-grade, concrete masonry walls, steel frame structure; metal stud partition walls; concrete slab roof system with shingle roof; double glazed, insulated, aluminum framed windows; wall, floor and ceiling finishes; heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning; complete electrical system to include electrical equipment, wiring and lighting; fire protection system; telephone, computer, and television cabling and conduit; intrusion detection system; lightning protection; and supporting facilities of pavements, utilities and other related site work. Additional work includes clearing and grubbing of the training range, construction of facility mock-ups for Submitted to Congress (Continued On DD 1391C) Page No. 115 NAVAL SCHOOL EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, 4. Project Title FL 7. Project Number 903 ADVANCED EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL TRAINING FACILITY (...continued) practical training exercises, and installation of paved access and parking for the training sites. Facility mock-ups will include simulated structures representing residential dwellings, commercial businesses, public transportation, utilities, base camps, and other structures relevant to the explosive training program. The construction of this project will provide physical security measures for anti-terrorism force protection in accordance with current standards. Construct Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training facility and REQUIREMENT: Adequate facilities are required to support training for an annual throughput of 576 students and 20 staff. The environment we are currently operating in requires: Modification/ Expansion of the existing course content and capacity to train more people. -Course length will increase from 10 training days to 15 training days. The mission and objective of the Advanced Improvised Explosive Devices The current level of worldwide terrorism against military, civilian, and political targets has shown the need for an improved defense against WMD. Force protection and anti-terrorism threats require that EOD technicians be trained to counter command detonated devices, sensor activated roadside/ambush devices, Vehicle Borne IEDs (VBIED), Large Improvised Explosive Devices (LIED), standoff weapons (improvised mortars, rockets) and dispersal devices (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) agents).

Project Title ADVANCED EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL TRAINING FACILITY ...continued) Training in the use of specialized equipment and procedures to diagnose, CURRENT SITUATION: Formal training is not available for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team Leaders in Advanced Improvised Explosive Devices Disposal. EOD components of the 1997 Surface Warfare Training Requirements Review (SWTRR) identified an urgent and compelling need for an Advanced Improvised Explosive Devices Disposal (AIEDD) Course, to train EOD Team Leaders to counter the current and growing threat of Advanced Improvised Explosive Devices and worldwide terrorist acts. A small portion of the proposed course content is currently being taught at NAVSCOLEOD Detachment Indian Head, MD in the Advanced Access and Disablement (AA&D) course. However, the course cannot be expanded or conducted effectively at the current location primarily due to range restrictions that severely limit the use of explosives. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Without this project, the EOD community will have no formal training available to meet the current and rapidly growing worldwide AIEDD/LIED threat to national defense and Department of Defense (DoD) personnel and facilities. This course would enable DoD to more fully address Force Protection and Anti-Terrorism issues currently facing this nation. 12. Supplemental Data: A.
