Team arrived on scene to discover that the route %%% team had disrupted a roadside IED in the South bound %%% (HWY %%%) with command wire heading across the median and North bound %%%.

All items were recovered for exploitation by WIT %%%. Secondary search was conducted with no additional hazards found. \012\012S2 ASSESSMENT: This IED was located in an emerging %%% approximately 2km in length on Highway %%%, just South of %%% that has seen consistent activity since %%%. Despite the location, the effectiveness of the IED DET on 11JUL09, further North on Highway %%%, most likely resulted in a TTP-shift to include multiple rounds as 2x 105mm were used in this device (not seen in previous IEDs at this %%%). Finally the multiple types of initiators used in the area (CW, LRCT, cell phone) could easily be attributed to a lack of supplies or possibly an attempt to thwart CF %%%-IED %%% by presenting a random initiator configuration on their devices to improve effectiveness.\012\012/// CLOSED /// %%% 2003C Sep %%%
