Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Forces Focus – 42nd Route Clearance Co Partners with Bundeswehr
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011While this isn’t an EOD project, it is a counter-IED exercise pairing the US Army’s 42nd Route Clearance Company and the Bundeswehr’s 441st Mechanized Infantry Brigade Rout Clearance Team in a classic Engineer mission.
Although in typical AFN fashion the clip is short on details, it does remind us how important our engineer forces are in providing route clearanceIt also shows that new equipment has been developed for this mission and some of it was adapted from EOD.
Thanks from SSD to all the folks in the Counter-IED business!
