A unique, comprehensive, and up-to-date collection of government documents on the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to American and coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress has appropriated over $16 billion to the Joint IED Defeat Organiztion (JIEDDO) to address the IED threat. IEDs are the enemy's fires system - their artillery. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the enemy delivers these fires through networks that for centuries have formed the sinews of commerce for tribes and factions. IED attacks provide the enemy with a cheap, stand-off, precision targeting system that often provides attackers with complete anonymity. Coverage of IEDs and the JIEDDO includes: JIEDDO Annual Reports, Acronyms and Terms, Glossary, DoD Directives, Urgent Needs and Readiness Levels, Technology Readiness Levels, Training for Forensics and Crime Scene Investigation to Battle IEDs, biographies of key officials in the JIEDDO, History of JIEDDO, The Threat, Organizational Structure, Organization Chart, Attacking the Network, Counter-IED Operations Integration Center (COIC), Keyhole, Information Operations, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Recon (ISR), Warrior Alpha, WTI, Constant Hawk, Technology Insertion Process, Indentity InstaCheck, Palantir, Data Tracker, Doing Business with JIEDDO, Defeat the Device: Ahura, Lapeer and Terrapin, Husky Mounted Detection System, Counter Radio-controlled Electronic Warfare (CREW), DUKE, Chameleon, Guardian, Vehicle Optics Sensor System (VOSS), Route Clearance Teams (RCT), Route Clearance Blowers, MARCBot/Xbot, Healy Beacon, Rhino II and III, Combat Tracker Dogs, Training the Force, JTCOIC, Tactical Site Exploitation.
