BREACHEN
Dutch facilitator for special operations unit training, shaped by 30 years of practical experience
With a background in a reconnaissance unit, 30 years as a firefighter, and structural engineering expertise, Martijn understands how to gain entry and why things fail. That's why he has supported training for intervention units for years. They attended one training session; he observed dozens. Now he knows better than anyone how to make every unit even better.
PROGRAMS
Basic – Three-day breaching training
For units already performing at the highest level. Three days of theory and practice. Climbing and breaching training based on real failures and near-misses from operations. Realistic scenarios, realistic materials.
Whats included:
Mechanical and hydraulic breaching
Hands-on with professional equipment
Tested on realistic materials, no cardboard doors
Advanced – Five-day breaching training
For that final 5%. Everything from the three-day training, with additional depth and scenario building.
Whats included:
Identifying weak points through in-depth door analysis
Tactical breaching applications within context
Equipment knowledge
Master – Train the trainers
To deliver training, you need to know everything about the craft, including how every material, tool, and barrier is constructed.
Whats included:
Often five-day setup, custom options available
Disassembling equipment to understand how it works
Scenario design - how to build in realistic pressure
Debrief methodology - making mistakes visible
Knowledge transfer for independent execution within unit
this is Where we make the difference
Where others sell the equipment with a training course included, we sell the training and know all the equipment—brand independent.
Materials that have been used in fire services for years
Realistic breaching with real resistance. Real doors, real pressure, real failures
Making mistakes visible under pressure, so they don't happen operationally
Scenarios based on real failures, near-misses, and operational cases
For special ops units throughout Europe and beyond
Based in the Netherlands. Training throughout Europe and beyond. We facilitate at your location or arrange complete training facilities.
Frequently asked questions
- Who are these training programs designed for?
For special operations teams already operating at a high level. DSI, MARSOF, FIOD, Corps Commando Troops, BSB, Marines. Units that know the doctrine and want to achieve that final 5% in breaching.
- What makes your training different from others?
Others sell the equipment with a training course included. We sell training and know all the equipment. Independent of brands, knowledge of all systems. One consequence is that we use real doors, not cardboard. Our goal is a successful training session, not successful breaching due to the materials.
- Can you provide customized solutions?
Yes. We always start with an intake conversation. What weaknesses do you see? Which scenarios are relevant to your operations? From there, we build the training. We facilitate everything: location, materials, role players, training.
- What is your background?
Martijn has worked with breaching equipment in the fire service since 1996, served in reconnaissance unit Seedorf, and has provided training support to all intervention units in the Netherlands for 15-20 years. Structural engineering background. Network of specialists for every scenario. We facilitate—that's where our strength lies.
