Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Strategic Plan 2012-2016 – U.S. Army Joint IED Defeat Organization, January 2012

  • “When discussing future threats, it is important we consider both the networks that employ IEDs as well as the device itself. The IED is the weapon of choice for the overlapping consortium of networks operating along the entire threat continuum — criminal, insurgent, and terrorist alike. Threat networks use IEDs because they are cheap, readily available, easy to construct, lethal, and effective. The IED is a weapon used strategically to cause casualties, create the perception of insecurity, and influence national will. This threat is complex and transnational in nature, representing layers of interdependent, inter-connected global threat networks, and support systems.”
