Airborne Command
When will US troops use their own IEDs to stop truck bombs?
The M2A4 15 lb shaped charge and the M3A1 40 lb shaped charge can be placed upside down in a hole in the road and rigged for command detonation. They can also be placed on their side with sand bags and angled to direct their blast (15 lb 10 feet) (40 lb 20 feet). You can not stop a truck with small arms even if you hit the steer tires. Remember the Marines in Beirut and the 9, 82nd Airborne troops north of Bagdahd.
Natsugusa, your CFLCCROEs and TTPs will be of great comfort to the 9 dead 82nd trooper's family's. As an ex-engineer and trucker, I now how to stop a truck. One shaped charge is not a minefield, just like a claymore and if the damn driver will not stop and wants to get into your area , what is the life of one of your troops worth?
Its a good idea if used properly.Remember you only get one chance make sure its not friendly contractors and the vehicle is in the kill zone.
