Complete Breaching Program

8-Day Comprehensive Certification

Breaching is more than forcing entry—it is a deliberate capability that integrates tactics, target analysis, engineering principles, legal considerations, and mission planning into one operational discipline.

The Guild Solutions Group Complete Breaching Program is an eight-day, performance-driven certification course that develops breachers into capable, adaptable individuals prepared to support real-world tactical operations. Designed for law enforcement tactical teams and military personnel and more specifically in the special operations community, this program delivers a progressive training pathway from foundational concepts to intermediate applications across both non-energetic and energetic breaching.

Course Objectives

Upon completion, students will be able to:

• Conduct target analysis on a variety of residential and commercial structures.

• Select the most appropriate breaching method based on mission requirements, threat considerations, time constraints, and available resources.

• Employ manual, ballistic, hydraulic, power tool, exothermic, and energetic breaching techniques safely and effectively.

• Develop breaching plans that integrate seamlessly into overall tactical operations while utilizing Pryme Infil software, the latest mission planning software on the market.

• Understand the legal, safety, and operational considerations associated with breaching operations, and the why behind each tool and method being taught and utilized.

• Execute breaching operations with confidence while minimizing unnecessary risk to personnel and occupants.

Training Modules

Module 1 – Operational Breaching Solutions (Non-Energetic Breaching)

3 Days

The first phase establishes the core fundamentals of manual breaching and target defeat. Students receive extensive practical instruction while learning to identify structural vulnerabilities, evaluate locking systems, and solve breaching problems under operational time constraints.

Training includes:

• Manual Breaching (Tactical Rams, Halligan, Pry, Bolt Cutters, Wedges, etc.)

• Ballistic Breaching

• Power Tool Breaching (Gas & Battery)

• Hydraulic Breaching

• Exothermic Breaching

• Lock Bypass Techniques

• Door and Window Construction

• Structural Target Analysis

• Tool Selection and Employment

• Operational Problem Solving

• Safety and Risk Management

Rather than just memorizing techniques, students develop a decision-making process that allows them to rapidly assess obstacles and select the most effective breaching solution for the mission.

Module 2 – Energetic Breaching (Foundational Energetic Applications)

5 Days

The second phase transitions students into foundational and intermediate energetic breaching operations. Beginning with the science behind energetic breaching, students progress through charge calculations, target analysis, construction, placement, and execution before applying those skills during increasingly complex practical exercises.

Training includes:

• Residential Door Breaching

• Window Breaching

• Soft Wall Breaching

• Specialty Target Defeat

• Charge Calculations

• Charge Construction

• Target Analysis

• Charge Placement

• Blast Effects

• Safety Procedures

• Misfire Procedures

• Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

• Mission Planning (Pryme Infil Integration)

• Legal Considerations

• Team Integration

Students learn not only how to build and place charges, but why specific charge configurations are selected based on target construction, desired effects, and operational requirements.
