Actions on Contact. If an IED is found, or detonated, conduct the 5-Cs (Confirm,Clear, Cordon, Check, Control) and submit the IED/UXO report.
  • Confirm. The presence of the suspected IED must be confirmed.
    • Confirmation is complete if an IED threat is probable based on the information available.
    • Confirmation does NOT entail uncovering, exposing or excavating a suspected threat.
    • Confirmation should be done from a safe distance using hard cover and optics (binoculars and scopes), whenever possible, or other applicable C-IED enablers such as metal detectors, Holley Sticks, IED Detection Dogs (IDDs), robots, etc.
    • Do not over-confirm as the enemy studies our TTPs and will use antitamper switches in order to turn a found IED into a detonation.
    •  Confirmation Standards.
      • Any visible component.
      • Any visible wire, string, det cord.
      • 1 + 1 = IED.
    • Upon confirmation, notify higher headquarters and request EOD support by submitting the IED/UXO Report.
  • Clear. All personnel should be cleared from the area to a tactically safe position. All leaders should use the factors of METT-TC to determine safe positions and distances. The minimum safe distance for exposed personnel should be 300 meters from the IED site. Conduct 5 and 25 meter checks at all occupied areas. Sweep the area for any secondary devices or triggermen.
  •  Cordon. Cordon the area to prevent unauthorized personnel and vehicles from entering the site in order to preserve the scene for further exploitation and to provide outward protection and security against command-initiated IEDs.
  • Check. Check the immediate area around the site and cordoned positions for secondary devices using 5 and 25 meter checks.
  • Control. Control the area inside the cordon to ensure only authorized personnel have access. Only emergency services (medical, firefighting or EOD) should be allowed to enter the cordon. All personnel and vehicles should enter and exit the cordoned area through the ICP/ECP. All civilian and non-essential military traffic should be diverted away from the cordon. If possible, maintain observation of the IED.
