Provided is a multi-configuration transportable demolition pouch that includes a cruciform shaped section of fabric with a central explosive containing area and four trimmable flaps, a fastener on each of the flaps, a strap accepting slit, a first and a second strap, a fabric lid and priming hole, and one or more energetic device that can be selected based on desired blast footprint. The pouch can be trimmed when using smaller quantities of explosives to reduce its footprint and facilitate ease of carrying and emplacement. The device has attachment features to aid in transport and to provide proper spacing and attachment points for demolitions and breeching techniques involving multiple charges. The pouch provides components to allow for blast footprint alteration and for water tamping to reduce blast effects to nearby personnel, as well as to increase the efficiency of the explosive charge.
