Document and Media Exploitation Course Series
The C-IED Centre of Excellence (COE) Document and Media Exploitation (DOMEX) Course Series, comprising of the Advanced DOMEX (ADOMEX) and foundational DOMEX courses, is designed to equip military and law enforcement personnel with critical skills in the domain of Technical Exploitation. These courses provide structured, mission-relevant training in the key sub-disciplines of DOMEX, including:
DOCEX
MEDEX
CELLEX
UASEX
The primary objective of the series is to develop and enhance participants’ capabilities to conduct DOMEX operations at the tactical level using a range of foundational tools, techniques, and software. Training emphasizes initial collection, secure handling, and exploitation of captured or recovered materials in order to generate actionable intelligence. This includes the application of systematic methods for the extraction, processing, and analysis of data from physical and digital sources.
Instruction is aligned with current best practices and operational requirements, enabling personnel to integrate DOMEX outputs into the broader Technical Exploitation and Intelligence cycles. The course fosters a practical understanding of how technical findings contribute to targeting, threat analysis, and operational decision-making within Counter-IED and counter-threat environments.
By the end of the course series, participants will have developed a baseline proficiency in DOMEX techniques, with a clear understanding of their role within the wider exploitation framework, supporting both tactical missions and strategic intelligence objectives.
Course Prerequisites:
The course is intended for qualified personnel with prior training in Technical Exploitation disciplines, such as members of Forensic Exploitation Teams (FET), Weapons Intelligence Teams (WIT), or individuals with equivalent experience. Suitable attendees include professionals from Military Police, Military Search, Military Intelligence, Special Forces, and Intelligence or Operations staff actively involved in exploitation tasks.
Participants should hold military ranks ranging from OR-3 to OR-9 and OF-1 to OF-4, or equivalent positions within law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
