Overall Scenario:
Your team is set to conduct a mobility mission. On this mission, your unit comes across a set of obstacles blocking the unit from proceeding any further. To pass
the obstacles, you must perform a number of breaching demolitions.
Calculate Breaching Charge Overview:
Correct calculation of breaching charges is essential to move friendly forces through obstacles without being engaged and to maintain momentum during assault or a retrograde. Failure to properly calculate for breaching charges can slow or stop an assault, cause unnecessary collateral damage, injure or kill Soldiers and civilians. Strict attention to calculating breaching charges will also aid in maintaining economy of resources.
Steel Cutting Charge Calculation Activities:
Apply the six-step problem-solving format to calculate the size of charges required to breach concrete, masonry, rock, or similar material using the following formula: P = R
3
KC.
Use the hasty method to determine the amount of explosives required for breaching reinforced concrete.
Use the hasty method to determine the amount of explosives required for breaching materials other than reinforced concrete targets.
Use the six-step problem-solving format and the appropriate formula to calculate counterforce charges for rectangular masonry or concrete columns 4 feet thick or less.

Question 1
10 out of 10 points
Activity 1 (Questions 1-5):
Your unit has received a mission directive to calculate the charge necessary to breach a concrete wall. It is your responsibility to make the correct calculations of demolition charges to ensure the desired demolition effect. Using the six step formula and the structured steel cutting formula (P = R ^ 3 KC), determine how many packages of TNT it would take to breach concrete, masonry, and rock.
Task
: Before beginning to calculate the breaching charges, you need to demonstrate your understanding of the six step charge calculation process.
Put the steps in the proper order and then select Submit.
