Mosul, Iraq Explosive Clearance Operations
Presented by Drew A. Prater
The clearance of Mosul, Iraq after the defeat of ISIS has been “painstaking and even more dangerous because of the 3D contamination” (UN Mine Action Service) with over 7.6 million tons of debris and more than 100,000 damaged and destroyed houses to clear. Explosive hazard contamination is on a massive scale, not only from the remaining ordnance, but the thousands of IEDs emplaced throughout the city and the problem has only been exacerbated by the destruction caused by the fighting. This presentation seeks to educate the attendees as to the mission and challenges faced and how thousands of explosive hazards were cleared with minimal equipment and no casualties.

ISIS IEDs
Presented by Drew A. Prater
According to the U.S. DOD Joint Improvised‐Threat Defeat Agency, “ISIS has totally changed the nature of the threat from IEDs.”, which is a very true statement. Never before has the world seen the “quasi‐industrial” scale use of IEDs as that produced and emplaced by ISIS. ISIS IEDs covers not just the IEDs themselves, but also individual components, placement methods, render safe procedures, IED variations and assessments.
