What actions should units be prepared for when encountering a suspected IED?

Units encountering a suspected IED must be prepared to engage in adaptation, maintain information flow, ensure ongoing training, and conduct after-action reviews.

Adaptation is crucial in these situations as units might need to adjust their tactics based on the evolving threat and environment. Information flow is essential to communicate effectively about the IED threat, ensuring all team members are aware and can respond appropriately. Continuous training prepares units to respond to IED threats effectively and reinforces the skills needed to navigate these high-risk situations. After-action reviews allow teams to assess their actions after an incident, identify lessons learned, and improve responses for the future.

This comprehensive approach enhances unit safety and effectiveness while responding to the potential legacy of IED threats. The other options do not encompass the necessary holistic perspective needed for readiness when dealing with such uncertain and dangerous situations.
