Route Clearance IED Interrogation 1
IED interrogation is a combined effort of the Combat Engineer and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) technicians. IED neutralization is mainly in the scope of EOD.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 2
Detection and interrogation of IED’s with limited blow in place (BIP) capability.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 3
During the conduct of the patrol, the Buffalo Vehicle Commander (VC) is in control of interrogations
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 4
Prior to interrogating, the Buffalo VC will report to the Command Post (CP) when the arm is deployed and interrogation is beginning.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 5
A visual of 5 and 25 meter scan of the area will be conducted to ensure that no secondaries are located within the immediate vicinity.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 6
Security vehicles establish a cordon around the possible IED (PIED) and Buffalo during interrogation.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 7
During IED interrogation, the Buffalo VC pushes information about the IED to the EOD team leader and CP
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 8
EOD team leader can then make the determination of when they want the engineer interrogation to stop and EOD to begin exploitation of the device.
Route Clearance IED Interrogation 9
Upon IED confirmation, the Buffalo VC will provide the CP a description of the IED by component and ten-digit grid for the IED location
