IEDD TASK EXECUTION EXAMPLES
Example 1: VOIED – Tripwire
An IED search team has identified a tripwire on a track. It has been suspended between two plastic drums that form a vulnerable point and the searcher that identified it could also see what they believed to be an item of conventional ordnance behind one of the drums, camouflaged by some vegetation. The search team marked the tripwire before returning to the CP and requesting an IEDD operator who had been working with a different team in an adjacent confirmed hazardous area (CHA). On arrival, the IEDD operator conducts the first three phases of an IEDD task (arrival and initial questioning, detailed questioning and threat assessment, and evaluation and planning). As the IEDD operator has no access to an ROV they conduct long-range observation with binoculars. The operator then conducts a manual approach going no further than the point that has already been searched. The IEDD operator is able to see the tripwire and, by changing their position, the suspected main charge (item of conventional ordnance noted above) located behind the blue drum.
ׁ WARNING. The operator should not lean over the tripwire or outside the previously cleared area to get a better view.
