Improvised Explosive Devices

Question
(2) to what extent the armed forces are co-operating with other coalition partners on tactics aimed at countering improvised explosive devices.
Answer

We are not able to detail our counter-improvised explosive device (IED) measures, as disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the security of our armed forces. British Forces deployed on operations are equipped with a range of protective procedures and equipment. We co-operate fully with our coalition partners to counter the threat posed by IEDs.
