This module was much more interesting than doctrine or defense. We learned more about the different systems that we have to clear routes. IED's are one of the biggest dangers right now in Iraq and Afghanistan so learning more about how to defeat this threat is a huge job for the engineers. We have explosive and mechanical ways to breach obstacles. It's a lot easier to see what these things do than to explain them so here ya go:

At the end of this module, we did another TEWT with a mission analysis. For this one though, we didn't do JANUS and instead drove around and saw the different terrain that was talked about in our mission.
