Det cord is great stuff for making a great many inconveniences go away. Besides the Vietnam era tree cutting/LZ clearing function, it's used today for all sorts of breaching charges -- besides linear charges (like you'd use to slice an entire door away from its hinges/frame, or cut a fence) you can always stack or loop strips of it one next to another to create a charge with more surface area for doing things like blowing door locks, etc. Incredibly versatile stuff, and really easy to work with.
Guys with a knowledge of demo in T2K would, situation permitting and requiring, might carry a couple breaching charges as part of their day to day walking around load for popping door locks -- never know when you might really, really need to get off the street and such.
