  Tutorial: Civilian Leaders Tackle Counter-IED Course in Kuwait

Participants in the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference got a taste of what U.S.

Tutorial Details:

The participants, civilian business, civic and academic leaders from around the United States, donned flak vests and Kevlar helmets before maneuvering with Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit through the notional Al Bassayab province of Iraq.Their 13-vehicle convoy's mission was to deliver materials from Forward Operating Base Dagger to Forward Operating Base Spectre, which required them to traverse a several-mile course similar to what U.S. troops are likely to find in Iraq.

The course is part of a larger network of paved and dirt roads, built-up village areas and even 85-plus Arabic-speaking players that bring realism to the training scenarios troops practice before leaving here for Iraq. During a typical training mission, they're likely to encounter everyday drivers impatient about waiting for convoys to pass, suspicious people videotaping their vehicles, and insurgents who attack them directly or with roadside or vehicle-borne IEDs.

"We've tried to create an environment that simulates what they're likely to face when they move into Iraq, and to help them recognize the threats and know how to respond to them," Army Brig. Gen. Nolan Bivens, operations officer for Coalition Forces Land Component Command, told the JCOC participants.

There's no cookie-cutter formula for countering IEDs, the single biggest threat to U.S. forces in Iraq. The key, Bivens told the JCOC group, is recognizing and countering IEDs - something he said demands constant vigilance because the enemy keeps coming up with new tactics and techniques.

"We're dealing with a thinking enemy, one that's very adaptable" and that requires U.S. forces to become even more adaptable to keep a step ahead, Bivens said.

New technologies, including jammers that block the frequency that sets off the firing device, have a big impact. But the real key, Bivens said, boils down to recognizing the environment and being keyed in to telltale signs that something's out of place.
