Era of Persistent Conflict Enemy will focus on irregular warfare using asymmetric means to attack and influence advanced nations Conventional, unconventional, lethal, non-lethal, state supported, non-state, hybrid organizations, extremism produce a very complex environment Global Trends Globalization Demographics Resources Proliferation Urbanization Environment Failed States Technology Advances Closed States Threatened Criminal Environments Resource Wars WMD/E Attacks Terrorist Recruitment Dissatisfied Populations Humanitarian Crises Persistent Conflict The world will be in persistent conflict for generations and the IED will be the weapon of choice for decades 2
IEDs are Weapons with Tactical Effect Inflict casualties Isolate population from contact with friendly forces Explosive Filler Switch Initiator IED Main Charge Initiating System Power Sources Operational Effect Isolate population Disrupt freedom of movement Create perception of insecurity Casing Containers Strategic Effect Influence national will Create perception of lost cause Use insecurity to delegitimize host nation 3

DoD Response In February 2006, Department of Defense stood up the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) to support Combatant Commands by leading efforts to defeat improvised explosive devices as weapons of strategic influence. Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) Operations: The organization, integration and synchronization of capabilities that enable offensive, defensive, stability, and support operations across all phases of campaigns in order to defeat IEDs as operational and strategic weapons of influence. 8
What Makes JIEDDO Unique? Laser-like focus on the IED threat Reports directly to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Funded through Overseas Contingency Operations 3-year uncolored funding DoDs ability to rapidly respond to Warfighters Rapid Acquisition 4-24 month response window 75% solution in months An innovative, transparent organization that finds solutions to the complex challenges of the IED fight 9
Lines of Operation (LOOs) Attack the Network: Lethal and non-lethal actions and operations against networks conducted continuously and simultaneously at multiple levels (tactical, operational, and strategic) that: capitalize on or create key vulnerabilities disrupts activities eliminates the enemy s ability to function Defeat the Device: Detection, mitigation, and neutralization of IEDs once it has been emplaced through: route clearance device neutralization explosive detection disposal of unexploded and captured ordnance vehicle and personnel protection Train the Force: Actions and activities designed to enable Attack the Network and Defeat the Device through: graduate level Combat Training Center events C-IED training at Home Stations and the Centers of Excellence focused individual C-IED pre-deployment training Training in-theater to stay ahead of adaptive enemy 10

Summary We must contain the spread of IEDs as a global weapon of choice for violent extremists The ENEMY adapts quickly we can t armor our way out of IEDs We need to institutionally integrate what we have learned We must continue to strive to make IEDs too costly to produce and too risky to employ by: Attacking networks that emplace IEDs Training our forces to protect themselves We must seek technologies and train warfighters to protect themselves and defeat the devices IEDs are not just a tactical problem 15

Afghanistan IED Trends IED efficacy has decreased despite an increased OPTEMPO IED severity has decreased IEDs are less lethal against US forces -- US KIA per Effective IED Attack have decreased, but Non-US Coalition Force KIA remains relatively constant 17
Iraq IED Trends No significant change in number of IED events since July; % of effective attacks trending downward Coalition Force IED casualties continue to trend down, with only 2 CF IED WIA in December Host Nation IED casualties trends continue to vary month to month Reasons for success: - Effective COIN strategy - Effective C-IED enablers w/trained forces - Effective host nation security force - Political reconciliation - Lethal targeting of irreconcilables 18
