Counter IED approaches the IED as a systemic problem
and C‐IED actions aim to defeat the IED System.
The C‐IED approach aims to defeat an adversary’s IED
System with three mutually supporting and
complementary
pillars of activity which are:
• Attack the Networks (AtN);
• Defeat the Device (DtD);
• Prepare the Force (PtF).
These are all underpinned by understanding
and
intelligence.

Biggest Lessons
From C-IED COE and its Sponsor Nations perspective
Lesson: C‐IED crosses multiple disciplines resulting in
communication challenges across nations

From C-IED COE and its Sponsor Nations perspective
Lesson: Exploitation & Biometrics are crucial in all Armed
Forces for Attacking the Network, sharing is paramount to
support this effort.

Best Practices
Nov 2012; Interagency Workshop at the C‐IED COE
Military, law enforcement, homeland security, counter
terrorist organisations
Subjects: Sharing / classification of documents /
biometrics
Some findings:
130409 UN CCW AP II Expert Meeting
Best Practices
Not being aware of existing processes;
To actually share information
To address shortfalls and possible improvements
Better use of liaisons and disclosure officers
Question possible sharing before a (multinational) military operation
Education to ‘writers’
what consequences are of (over) classification
Classify more accurate (paragraphs not the whole document)
Sharing agreement between NATO and Interpol for Piracy is good
example
