U.S. Soldiers, assigned to 173rd Airborne Brigade, attend the 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command’s Combined Arms Training Center‘s Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) Train the Trainer (T3) Course at Rose Barracks, Vilseck, Germany, Feb. 4, 2015. The purpose of the C-IED T3 Course is to train selected personnel for unit-led IED defeat training. With a highly-trained cadre of IED defeat instructors to conduct unit training, commanders can be confident that soldiers in their command will have a better understanding of how IEDs are deployed, how to identify potential IED sites, and the tactics, techniques, and procedures required before, during, and after an IED event.
