Yes. If an IED can be readily noticed, it can deactivated or avoided and then it would be unable to serve as a functional mine.

IED rank typically refers to the classification or level of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) based on their complexity, sophistication, and potential lethality. This ranking can help military and security personnel assess the threat level posed by specific IEDs and inform their countermeasures and response strategies. Factors influencing IED rank include the materials used, triggering mechanisms, and the intended target. Understanding IED ranks is crucial for effective risk assessment and operational planning in conflict zones.
The first improvised explosive device (IED) was likely used by guerilla fighters or insurgents during conflicts. It is difficult to pinpoint a specific individual or group, as the use of IEDs has been prevalent throughout history in various conflicts.
Im not quite sure about Iraq but, in Afghanistan, roughly 1222 of our boys have passed. Mostly by IEDs. God Bless them.
Excuse the spam produced by idiots. In the Vietnam war, U.S troops fought "Viet Cong" in jungle environments, were vehicles were hard to use, machine-gunners were targeted first, and aircraft could only bomb from perception, much like in WWII. Viet Cong would often use Guerilla tactics, such as ambushes and IEDs. Americans were slaughtered quite often in the bloody battles. The Vietnam war was quite beneficial; equipment and vehicles produced by the U.S is still used today, if not for the war, then this equipment may not have been used. Such equipment was the M16 assault rifle, now used as the M16A3/4 and M4 carbine, the M60 machine gun, still used today in Afghanistan as the M60E4, the AC-47 and AC-130 heavy gunships, now used as the AC-130U Spooky, and the F-4 Phantom started a long line of fighter jets including the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-22 Raptor.

True. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) can be constructed in various forms and often use camouflage techniques to blend into their surroundings, making them difficult to detect. This adaptability enhances their effectiveness as weapons in asymmetric warfare. Recognizing the potential for such concealment is crucial for safety and counter-IED measures.
True. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) can take various forms and are often designed to blend into their surroundings, making them difficult to detect. This camouflage can include disguising them as everyday objects or integrating them into the environment, posing significant risks to both military personnel and civilians.
Select all factors that are ways in which you might become the victim of a terrorist attack.
True. IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) can take various forms and are often designed to be camouflaged, allowing them to blend into the surrounding environment. This tactic makes them more difficult to detect and increases the risk to individuals and vehicles in the area. Awareness and vigilance are crucial in identifying potential threats.
