  14. CJ2 ROUTE THREAT ASSESSMENT HOW ROUTE THREAT ASSESSMENTS ARE MADE • Overall route threat assessment is based on the number of direct attacks (SAF, IDF, rocket), IED attacks and IEDs found within 1 km of the MSRs HIGH 8+ attacks in 14 DAYS *Threat is Imminent* MODERATE 4-7 attacks in 14 Days *Threat is present but not Imminent* LOW 3 or less attacks in 14 days * Threat is not imminent*

  32. INSURGENT TTPS • YOUR PATTERNS may be continuously monitored and studied. • Insurgents target any set patterns. • IEDs are emplaced months or weeks in advance. • IEDs are armed just before our vehicles approach, either by hand or by radio. • Insurgents use the same locations for emplacing IEDs and Firing Points, repeatedly. ( maximum recorded is 8 )

  33. INSURGENT TTPS • IEDs are placed in : • Frequently used overwatch positions. • Parking areas on halts. • Dead ground that cannot be seen from FF locations.

  41. INSURGENT USE OF MARKERS • To warn local nationals of the location of the IED. • To assist in aiming and detonating the IED at the best possible time.

  42. AIMING MARKERS

  43. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Threat Signatures • Metal Content • PPIED • Metallic mines / military ordnance items • Battery packs • Insurgents may bury stray metal on tracks to slow movements. • Disturbed Earth • Emplacers will dig devices in, soil colour may change. • Command Wires/ Trip Wires • Lines of disturbed earth, ant trails, decaying vegetation. • Glints reflected from wire. • RC Antenna • Exposed short lengths of wire, along ground or fixed to vertical poles, etc. • May be remoted from main charge.

  44. IF A SUSPECT DEVICE IS FOUND : CARRY OUT 4 Cs • Confirm : that its an IED • Safe distance • Clear : the area • Ensure no one at risk • Cordon • Call for EOD support • Provide safe area for EOD to work • Control • Stop people entering • Find safe route around

  45. USEFUL TTPs • Plan the route the CF will travel. • Try to avoid obvious Choke points, or when possible, search the area. • Try not to set patterns. • Use your ECM equipment. • Stay in the tracks of the vehicle in front of you. • Let the person who has the best overview also look in front of the vehicle to look for characteristic indications and markings on the ground.

  46. USE OF ELECTRONIC COUNTER MEASURES (ECM) • Report to ISAF HQ your frequencies and operating areas if it is possible. • Fitting to a range of different vehicles, power requirements and antenna location. • Communications issues.

  47. ACTION ON FINDING IED OR IED STRIKE • DON’T TOUCH DEVICE. • CALL IEDD TEAM WHO ARE TRAINED TO MAKE IT SAFE. • IF IED HAS DETONATED, IEDD TEAM WILL EXPLOIT THE SCENE IF TACTICAL SITUATION PERMITS.
