Description

 

On February 26, 2013, the White House released a policy statement onCountering Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs), which stated that “IEDs remain one of the most accessible weapons available to terrorists and criminals to damage critical infrastructure and inflict casualties.”² The statement concluded that, “the threat from IED use is likely to remain high in the coming decade and will continue to evolve in response to our abilities to counter them.” However, as has been witnessed through the years—both in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom—this asymmetric threat is far from new.
