Image 29. A change in the ground conditions on a route may provide an opportunity for IED emplacement
This indicator really refers to how the ground conditions will affect how easily an IED can be buried in order to conceal it. An example of this is shown in Image 29 where a tarmac road ends and a gravel track starts. In addition, soft and / or sandy conditions restrict the mobility and speed of vehicles conducting ground moves, presenting opportunities for targeting with command-operated devices.
