Counter-IED (Improvised Explosive Device) Operations
Counter-IED operations involve detecting, disarming, and preventing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used to threaten security and attacks. These operations include intelligence gathering to identify threats, specialized training for soldiers and bomb disposal experts to carefully disable or remove devices, and technical tools like sensors and robots for safer inspection. The goal is to protect personnel and civilians by reducing the threat posed by IEDs, which are often concealed in the environment to target military or civilian targets. Effective counter-IED efforts are critical for maintaining safety in conflict zones and preventing casualties.
