The 23rd Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Working Group (C-IED WG) Meeting was hosted by the Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Centre of Excellence (C-IED COE) in Toledo (Spain) over the period 23-26 MAY 2022. The event was organized inside the Spanish Infantry Academy.
The aim of this group was to work on the NATO C-IED priorities in accordance with NATO Military Committee Land Standardization Board (MCLSB) guidance. This was a good opportunity for information sharing between NATO nations and entities, focusing on evolution of C-IED for future operations and synchronization of Technical Exploitation initiatives with C-IED requirements.
MAJ Adrian PETER (ROU-A) and MAJ Peter MRAZIK (SVK-A) from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Centre of Excellence (EOD COE) brought their contribution to this working group especially in the field of Doctrine, Standardization and Technical Exploitation. EOD COE participation to this Working Group is vital, since EOD is a key enabler of C-IED.
