For the remaining six months, recruits will additionally begin the advanced phase of the induction program and develop various technical skills, including: advanced first aid, basic fire protection, demolitions, and suppression tactics. Upon completion, graduating recruits will be provided their assigned locations proceeded by deployment.

  • IB-100: Basic Security Rotation
  • IB-130: Base Logistics
  • IB-230: Security Hub
  • IB-235: CSD Compliance
  • IB-280: Low-Level Containment

Following assignment, personnel will then be placed under a probationary period where an experienced staff member (a non-commissioned officer) will assist and observe in the performance of said personnel. Probationary periods for low-priority assignments (IB-100 through 280) will proceed for a total of four months, whereas high-priority assignments (IB-325 through 400) will extend to five months. Due to the extremely hazardous environment of IB-430, only experienced/veteran personnel are permitted assignment under the exception of periods where additional manpower is required.1
