Insurgents have effectively employed asymmetric tactics,
such as the use of suicide bombers, as viable threats in urban
environments. These threats are often devastating in their
physical and emotional effects. They are hard to detect and
have proven difficult to thwart or defeat. The U.S. Army has
recognized that improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) pose a
persistent and devastating threat, impacting unit operations,
U.S. policy and public perception (U.S. Army, 2005).
