#2 New RoE: anyone caught with any type of IED or components should be immediately shot as a war criminal.
Possess explosives/shells? Dead
Possess vests? Dead
Possess wiring/fuses? Dead
Possess more than one electric controller? Dead

Publicize it, do it. US casualties will drop mightily.

#3 Both the IED and sniper problems, I think, are cyclical. As experienced troops rotate out, the toll goes up, and then down as experience grows.

UAV's and counter sniper teams, used properly, will take care of most of these before any of our guys or gals get killed. Unfortunately, it goes against the grain for many commanders to recon by air and snipe at your enemies.

#4 I like it, Brett. IED means immediate, painful interrogation...and a swift execution.
