00:00.000 --> 00:02.500
(light music)

00:04.710 --> 00:06.240
- [Mike] We're in Belize right now.

00:06.240 --> 00:08.670
Part of Southern Partnership Station 2014.

00:08.670 --> 00:11.263
Today's focus is demolition operations.

00:14.510 --> 00:16.080
So the main goal for this exercise

00:16.080 --> 00:17.960
is building partner capacity,

00:17.960 --> 00:18.820
and that's exactly what

00:18.820 --> 00:21.490
explosive ordinance
disposal is doing here.

00:21.490 --> 00:24.300
So we've got three different
groups represented here today

00:24.300 --> 00:27.670
And we're focusing on
demolition initiation techniques

00:27.670 --> 00:30.223
and how to be safe when we're doing that.

00:32.290 --> 00:34.350
We're using a time fuse today.

00:34.350 --> 00:37.130
It slowly burns down to the blasting cap

00:37.130 --> 00:39.290
which we're either
priming in directly to C4

00:39.290 --> 00:41.490
or we're priming to detonate the cord

00:41.490 --> 00:43.330
which is wrapped around C4.

00:43.330 --> 00:45.440
Daisy Pop, you guys are going
to be carrying the charges.

00:45.440 --> 00:47.650
You guys are going to be
walking behind Daisy and Pop

00:47.650 --> 00:48.790
with time (mutters).

00:48.790 --> 00:51.049
Okay, so we can set it off from a distance

00:51.049 --> 00:52.260
so we can have a precise location

00:52.260 --> 00:53.610
where the explosion occurs.

00:55.050 --> 00:57.600
There's risk, but we're
doing everything we can

00:57.600 --> 01:00.459
to mitigate that risk and
make it as safe as possible.

01:00.459 --> 01:01.390
(muttered talking)

01:01.390 --> 01:03.403
For explosive ordinance disposal,

01:04.260 --> 01:06.530
we have been working with
eight different partner forces

01:06.530 --> 01:09.117
in the span of six weeks. We've been busy.

01:09.117 --> 01:10.880
- [Commanding Voice] Fire in the hole!

01:10.880 --> 01:12.970
- [Mike] It's a fast-paced environment

01:12.970 --> 01:15.050
but everybody's been enjoying themselves

01:15.050 --> 01:17.260
a lot throughout the deployment.

01:17.260 --> 01:18.560
Go down to Guatemala soon.

01:22.870 --> 01:24.190
I'm Lieutenant Mike Slagh.

01:24.190 --> 01:26.700
I'm with Explosive Ordinance
Disposal Unit Three.

01:26.700 --> 01:27.533
We're in Belize

01:27.533 --> 01:29.660
supporting Southern
Partnership Station 2014.
