  • Door Breaching - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Door breaching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_breaching From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Door breaching is a process used by military, police, or emergency services to force open closed and/or locked doors. A wide range of methods are available, one or more of which may be used in any given situation. These methods may be divided up into mechanical breaching, ballistic breaching, explosive breaching, and thermal breaching.[1] 1 Mechanical breaching 2 Ballistic breaching 3 Explosive breaching 4 Thermal breaching 5 Examples of breaching tools and operations 6 See also Reproduction medieval battering ram 7 References at Château des Baux, France Mechanical breaching can be minimally destructive, through the use of lock picks. This method is relatively slow and requires a trained operator, but does not damage the lock or door. Using specialized tools (i.e.: A-tool, K-tool) a lock cylinder can also be quickly dismantled still in the door and unlocked. This also allows the door to be closed and relocked. Mechanical breaching also includes hydraulic breaching, which uses a special hydraulic ram to bust in the door. The hydraulic ram may be powered manually, pneumatically, or electrically. More dynamic methods (kinetic breaching) use force to break the lock or door. The common methods are to use a lever, such as a Halligan bar or crowbar, or to use a tool to concentrate a large amount of force on the door, such as a sledgehammer, hydraulic jack, or battering ram.[2] Ballistic breaching uses a projectile weapon to breach an opening. Weapons used can range from small arms to the 120mm cannon of a main battle tank with a HEAT round, which will breach most obstacles easily, though the force involved may violate the rules of engagement.[3] A less damaging ballistic breach needs to destroy either the latch and lock, or the hinges of the door, and the ideal choice for this is the shotgun.

  • Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Considerations
    APPENDIX A NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL CONSIDERATIONS Current US policy regardinglethal or incapacitatingagents is that their use againstan armed enemy requiresapproval at the nationalcommand authority level. Potential enemies may not operate under the same restrictions.Field commanders must bepreparedto assume an adequate NBC defensive posture when engaged in urban fighting. Leaders must be aware of how the built-up environment affects the protection, detec- tion, and decontaminationprocess. Buildings are usually not strong enough to provide shelterfrom a nuclearexplosion but doprovide some protection againstfallout. They also have unique characteristicscon- cerning the use of biologicaland chemical agents. Personnelwho must move through a contaminated built-up area should employ the proce- dures outlined in FM 3-3, FM 3-4, FM 3-5, and FM 3-100. A-i. PROTECTION FROM NBC The lowest floor or basement of a reinforced concrete or steel-formed building offers good protection from nuclear hazards and liquid chemical contamination. Tunnels, storm drains, subway tubes, and sewers provide better protection than buildings. Tanks, BFVs, and APCs also provide protection. a. Biological attacks are difficult to detect or recognize. Biological agents can be disseminated by using aerosols, vectors, and covert methods (see FM 3-3 for more detailed information.) Since biological agents can be sprayed or dropped in bomblets, personnel who observe such indicators should promptly report them. Prompt reporting and treatment of the sick speeds the employment of medical countermeasures. Although buildings and shelters provide some protection against spraying, they provide little protection against biological agents. b. Chemical agents cause casualties by being inhaled or by being ab- sorbed through the skin.
