Military Engineering School strengthens international capabilities in the fight against explosive devices

The Military Engineers School of the Military Education Center certified a new group of officers, noncommissioned officers, and professional soldiers in the Explosive Ordnance Clearance (EOC) Course, a program that trains in the identification, neutralization, and disposal of explosive devices, with the participation of international military personnel. 

The course was held at the Military Engineers School's facilities, within the framework of international cooperation and national security strengthening policies.

During this training, students from the Colombian Armed Forces and friendly countries acquired the necessary skills to operate in complex and multinational environments, ensuring the success of military operations.
The institutional mission of the School of Military Engineers is based on educating and training officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, and civilian personnel in the doctrine related to the threat posed by explosive devices, framing their work within the respect for the national Constitution, human rights, and international humanitarian law.

By 2030, the School plans to consolidate its position as an academic and operational benchmark in civil and military engineering through high standards of educational quality, research, innovation, and technological development. In this way, it will contribute to strengthening and cooperating with allied nations.

In recent years, it has trained more than 80 international students, demonstrating its leadership in preparing experts in explosive ordnance disposal and neutralization operations.

The EOC Course is a strategic tool that not only strengthens the capabilities of the Armed Forces but also contributes to regional and international security, reaffirming the commitment to peace and the protection of communities.
