8 This term is used in preference to IED to differentiate between military or battlefield activities and to draw across the existing expertise of the NPU. The recent development of C-IED exploitation owes much to civil law enforcement. 9 See https://www.atf.gov/careers/docs/undefined/post-blast-investigative-techniques-i-course-id-expl-cs-0013/download and http://www.cpc-ccp.gc.ca/programs-programmes/explosives-explosifs/pblast-cead-eng.htm 10 Forensic and biometric contents have to be taught according to Ukraine laws and this may be conducted by NPU personnel subject to confirmation (Para 3.5).
