Explosives Intervention

The very nature of ARW operations, involving the manipulation of explosives and munitions, demands meticulous calculation in both the intervention and countermeasure fields. Only the highest standards are accepted. Army Ordnance Corps expertise is recruited into the Unit from among the most adept Explosives Ordnance Disposal Teams (Bomb Disposal) to be found anywhere. These personnel are very familiar with the wide array of improvised explosive devices used by subversive groups here in Ireland, and by militias and various factions in south Lebanon as well as in other peacekeeping missions around the world. This experience is vital to ARW research & development and the supervision of basic and advanced explosives training in the Unit.
