Abstract
We have no greater responsibility than providing the safety and security for our citizens, allies,
and partners and develop the economic environment that promotes opportunity and prosperity.
The use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) threatens these interests by killing, injuring, and
intimidating citizens and political leaders around the world, inflicting damage on security forces
on the battlefield, and disrupting transportation and the flow of commerce. The terrorists and
criminals responsible for these attacks are resilient, technologically adept and adaptable. They
employ the most recent and successful tactics, technique, and procedures gained from experience
in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. The strategic environment, even after the Cold War, is
dangerous and ambiguous. Increased instability in the world has resulted in regional conflicts,
civil wars, insurgences, terrorist attacks, drug trafficking, and a variety of attempts of
intimidation. These challenges arise even during times of relative peace. With this threat, IEDs
will reduce the military commander’s combat power, national politics, economic and
informational power. Because of this threat, military commanders and leaders responsible for
security at all levels must incorporate Counter IED support into their planning process. This will
ensure to be able to respond to these worldwide strategic challenges across a full range of
operations as part of a joint team.
