ATF hosts explosive training at Ramstein AB


RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives held a post-blast training course for U.S. Air Force Airmen and other NATO allies at Ramstein Air Base, Aug. 7-11, 2023.

The week-long course trains students in explosives identification, effects of explosions, recognizing improvised explosive devices, and collecting evidence from explosions. “The training we do is important because all across the country and all across the globe there are consistently explosives-related incidents and bombings,” said David Taylor, ATF post blast program manager. “We are able to partner with state, local, federal, international and military partners to put on this training. It allows everyone to act as a force multiplier so we can combat criminal bombings.”
