Instructor Notes

COURSE BACKGROUND AND GOAL

Since the suicide bombing attacks on the World Trade Center and the U.S. Pentagon on September 11, 2001, there is a heightened concern that suicide bombings may be the next tactic used by terrorist groups inside the United States. Other factors that contribute to this concern include the current tensions between Israel and Palestine and America’s declared war on terrorism with its subsequent invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Preparing the nation’s first responder organizations to effectively prevent and/or respond to a suicide bombing is seen by the U.S.

Congress as necessary in the next phase of preparing for terrorism within the borders of the U.S. Because of its concern for this threat, Congress has provided funding to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within DHS to task New Mexico Tech with this important project. New Mexico Tech utilizes their scientific and professional qualifications to train our nation’s first responders to prevent and respond to incidents that may involve suicide bombers.

A critical component of that improved capability is the preparation of selected personnel to prepare their agencies to interdict, prevent, respond to, and mitigate the effects of a suicide bombing. To that end, this course will train participants to perform the following:

• Explain the impact of safety issues on selecting response options while responding to a suicide bombing incident.

October 2013 Version 3.1 Page 1-12

Course Goal The goal of this course is to provide participants with sufficient knowledge of suicide bombings so they will be able to respond safely and effectively to a suicide bombing attack.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS SENSITIVE Module 1, Slide 1-11

Slide 1-11 Course Goal

Instructor Notes

• Explain how the tactics and techniques employed by terrorists when executing suicide attacks impact the initial incident response by law enforcement personnel.

• Identify materials, devices, and device components used to fabricate suicide bombing improvised explosive devices (SBIEDs).

• Apply legal principles to determine probable cause and identify appropriate use of force options in suicide bombing incidents.

• Respond effectively and decisively to contain or control a person borne improvised explosive device (PBIED) or vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack.

• Identify the actions and techniques needed to safely and effectively respond to a post-blast event.

ELO 1-1

Describe the course goal, objectives, and administrative requirements for successful completion of the course.

The goal of this course is to provide participants with sufficient knowledge of suicide bombings so they will be able to respond safely and effectively to a suicide bombing attack.

Slide 1-12 Course Scope Module 1, Slide 1-12 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS SENSITIVE

Initial Law Enforcement Response to Suicide Bombing Attacks Training Support Package

Instructor Guide Module 1

Instructor Notes

Slide 1-12 Instructors should explain that the course provides the information and skills that a first responder needs to function in a suicide bombing attack incident. While most of the training is in conference format, there is a mix of actual event case studies, as well as individual and group exercises, to allow participants to test or exercise what is learned throughout the course.

Hint

Make the participants aware that this course is focused on events that occur when a suicide bomber is encountered, as well as those immediately after a detonation has occurred.

ILERSBA is a performance level course designed to provide advanced training. The course offers a unique blend of classroom presentations and performance exercises designed to familiarize participants with appropriate procedures for safe and effective response to suicide bombing attacks.

The course is designed to develop those skills that a law enforcement first responder will need to respond to a suicide bombing attack. The course will require the participants to use the learned skills at various times during the training.

The structure of this course is situation-based, reflecting the full range of potential suicide bomber scenarios that are likely to be encountered.

The instructor can have the participants grade their own tests or they can exchange tests with another participant. The instructor will verbally provide the correct answer to ea ch question. The total number of questions missed should be written on the front of the test before being collected.

The purpose of the pre-test is to assist participants in assessing their current understanding o f the information and skills to be presented in this course. Afte r completing the pre-test, p articipants will grade their own work and review their performance. This personal assessment can be used to guide participants in focusing their attention on subject matter areas requiring additional study.

MODULE 2 BLAST EFFECTS AND SAFETY MEASURES DURING

SUICIDE BOMBING ATTACKS – ADMINISTRATION PAGE

Duration

1.2 5 Hours

Scope Statement Major safety issues associated with an improvised explosive device (IED) attack come from the physical reactions of the explosives during detonation. Some of these hazards can be handled by law enforcement personnel equipped with the knowledge of their negative impact to the human body and the types of preventive measures that can be utilized for protection. This module will detail most of the physical effects that may potentially jeopardize safety. In addition, it will cover issues surrounding the classification of items as being suspicious and a potential threat; and glass breakage and falling issues that have a dramatic impact on evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures. Also discussed is the importance of being able to recognize stimuli that cause the decomposition of explosive material.

Terminal Learning Objective (TLO) At the conclusion of this module, participants will be able to describe the impact of safety issues on selecting response options while responding to a suicide bombing incident.

Enabling Learning Objectives (ELOs) 2-1. List stimuli that produce heat and could potentially cause an IED to detonate.

2-2. Describe the physical effects of an explosion.

2-3. Use the Combined Bomb Threat Standoff Card to determine evacuation distances.

2-4. List safety rules that govern response during suicide bombing incidents.

INTRODUCTION

Major safety issues associated with an IED attack come from the physical reactions of the explosives during detonation. Some of these hazards, such as overpressure and shrapnel, can be dealt with during an incident as long as the law enforcement officer (LEO) realizes and comprehends how they negatively impact the body and what types of preventive measures can be utilized for protection.

This module discusses the physical effects of an explosion that may jeopardize safety, including glass breakage and falling objects that impact evacuation and shelter-in-place decisions. Equally important, and also discussed, is being able to recognize stimuli or things that create heat which may cause the detonation of explosive material.

Slide 2-2 contains the TLO for the module and should be explained by the instructor.
