"Great post by @EODHappyCaptain. Like many of us I spent a lot of time looking for IED's. We spent months training on this stuff. As a GIB in Recce Sqn often it was either just me or one other dismount looking for IED's. And of course every tour the TTP's of the Taliban changed. On 3-09 it seemed like many of the IED's were being directed at the dismounts looking for the traditional IED's in culverts and Pressure Plates. So my routine for doing my box drills on a defile was to start far and wide. Work my way in looking for places that an IED might be set up to kill me. Once that was cleared"
