Am I the only one here wondering why they dont seem to care about the follow up IED thret? If there is no risk of fire then the safest place to be in that situation is inside that truck untill security is up and the area has been cleared. And why does the guys in the trucks to the rear not start to sweep at once???
At least that was how our SOP´s were (Danish Army) in a situation like that.

Your right but they got a 2 gunship escort and both of the birds were sweeping the area which looked pretty barren.

When i say "sweep" i mean for other IEDs - op bama. Clearly the biggest thret in that area.

I gotcha seems like they crossed there fingers at that point right!?
