Don’t go into contaminated areas . IED contamination may not be obvious, and patterns often used (historically in EORE) for minefield indicators will vary, especially when IEDs have been used in urban areas. EORE should therefore provide information based on the assessment of most likely IED placements (in accordance with IMAS 07.14 Risk Management in Mine Action, Annex C). Don’t touch items of ERW . IEDs may purposely be intended to stimulate curiosity in order to encourage a normally safe act to be conducted. Due to the improvised nature of the threat a principle- based approach is likely to be effective. This could provide education on the five components of an IED (see Chapter 1), as well as IED ground signs and indicators (see Chapter 4). Report any items of ERW found . This should be realistic, understanding that official reporting channels may be strained or not present. It should also be pertinent to the threat, with IEDs sometimes being reported as an everyday object such as a ‘suspect wire’.
