Counter-Mine Operations

Counter-mine operations refer to strategies and techniques used by military forces to detect, neutralize, or clear landmines and unexploded ordnance from conflict zones. These operations ensure safe passage for personnel and equipment, reduce the threat to civilians, and restore access to affected areas. Methods include using specialized equipment like mine detectors, robotic vehicles, and manual probing, along with careful planning to identify minefield boundaries. Effective counter-mine efforts are essential for humanitarian recovery, ensuring that once a conflict ends, areas can be safely inhabited and used again.
