I have been tossing this one around in the grey matter and would like some input from members of the forum. I truly believe that as a Branch we have not significantly updated our abilities on explosive techniques in many years.
For example, the crater group is a fine technique for the red hordes but is it till relevant? We are using some "experimental" explosive entry techniques because there is a need and we have not been able to fill that gap with deliberate training, documents and purpose made explosives. Is bridge demolition(i.e. a reserve demolition) still a valid technique, if this bridge was of such importance, surely it could be designated and taken out at the appropriate time with a laser guided bomb.
I am seeking your opinions on what explosive techniques or purpose built explosives do we need introduced or re-introduced to give us the skill and equipment to do the jobs being asked of our sappers today.
