Learning from the Enemy - Offensively, What IEDs Should Teach the U.S

摘要

The United States has invested a great deal of money and effort to defeat Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and attack IED networks. However, relatively little research exists that seeks to learn applicable lessons from insurgent's tremendous offensive success with these crude explosive hazards. This paper aims to identify these offensive lessons learned and explore what methods and resources the U.S. should develop to fully exploit the power of explosive hazards on the Full Spectrum battlefield.
