Appendix Fso as not to give the enemy a time and place; unpredictability makes it harder for the enemy totarget IED search teams.• Considering anything suspect that looks out of place (for example, a rock pile or brush, wire,detonating cord, an abandoned vehicle, symmetrical trash bags).• Maintaining a visible presence and aggressive posture.• Conducting mounted and dismounted surveillance between checkpoints.WARNINGDo not attempt to do EODs job of neutralizing IEDs; what appearsto be simple may indeed be complex.ENTRY CONTROL POINTF-8. ECPs are a likely target for VBIEDs. Before constructing an ECP, conduct an IPB identifying thespecific threats to the installation. Identified threats are ECP design drivers.DESIGN CHARACTERISTICSF-9. ECP design characteristics include―• Deterrence. The overall ECP design, security posture, and procedures should convey to apotential aggressor a hardened access point not likely to be penetrated―it will fail.• Detection. Detection is the multiple measures that sense, validate, and communicate thepresence of an aggressor to the response force (cameras, vehicle passes, searches, questioning,bomb dogs, and so forth).• Defense. Defense is the active and passive measures employed to prevent an aggressor fromgaining entry or to minimize the effects of an attack (drop barriers, blast walls, stand off,serpentines, guards, and so forth).• Defeat. Defeat is the active and escalating measure of force design to defeat an aggressor (heavymachine guns (MGs), AT weapons, or QRF).DESIGN ELEMENTSF-10. ECP design elements include―• Traffic control. The flow of vehicles and personnel must be effectively controlled in order toefficiently segregate and process legitimate movement through the ECP. Traffic control shouldbe maintained by―• Segregating and conducting identification checks, HN police searches, and vehicle andpersonnel passes.• Using speed control (speed bumps or serpentines).• Using positive stops (wire rope barriers or vehicle drop barriers).• Channelizing and funneling traffic through the ECP provides clear engagement zones forMGs.• Allowing unauthorized vehicles to exit.• Threat mitigation. Threat mitigation involves features (such as blast walls to protect from theeffects of overpressure) to reduce identified threats and increased standoff distances to protectagainst fragmentation. Threat mitigation includes―• Hesco® barriers for blast protection (VBIED, suicide bomber, or direct and in-direct fire).• Predetonation screen (rocket-propelled grenade [RPG] attack).• Heavy MG and AT weapons (engage enemy vehicles or personnel).• Standoff to reduce effects from blast overpressure and fragmentation.F-4 FMI 3-34.119/MCIP 3-17.01 21 September 2005
Military Search• Potential VBIED (buses or trucks) should be restricted access and off-base trans-load yardsshould be used.• Procedures. Operating procedures should be integrated so that all processes are thorough,quick, and done with some degree of redundancy.• Defense in depth. Defense in depth is the repeated use engagement zones.• Threat mitigation.• Host nation police. HN police screen initial traffic.• Authorized vehicles moving to U.S. controlled zone. The driver and passengers move to theidentification and search area. The vehicle is searched without the driver or passengerobserving. Explosive detection dogs are used.• Cleared traffic. Cleared traffic continues through the ECP.PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE SEARCHF-11. A personnel and vehicle search includes―• Using the two man rule when searching personnel (one searching and one covering).• Using a separate search area from the holding area (allow for reaction).• Removing and searching (separately) bulky clothing.• Being thorough (occasionally test yourselves).• Using the presence of an interpreter.• Augmenting searches with handheld wands detectors, explosive sensors, and dogs.• Allowing no locals to observe the vehicle being searched, if possible.F-12. A variety of information sources should be used, including imagery assets, to establish predictablepatterns the enemy will use when emplacing IEDs and ensure that it is updated daily. The enemy routinelyreuses the site of previously successful IED attacks. To deny enemy emplacement of additional IEDs inthis location, units must plan for the use of ISR assets to either capture or destroy enemy personnelemplacing the IEDs. These areas would become a NAI.F-13. The latest HUMINT obtained from either MI or local nationals should be used. It is important toensure that the information has been properly filtered to determine its reliability.F-14. The most effective way to enhance security within the AOR in relation to the IED threat is to denythe enemy the opportunity to emplace IEDs. There are a variety of activities units can incorporate toaccomplish this. Units must develop a good relationship and means of communicating with the localcommunity so community members feel comfortable providing the unit with information. Examplesinclude IO and techniques (such as advertising telephone numbers to report enemy activity within the areaor to report locations of potential IED making materials) and media announcements and communications inthe local dialects. When this information is provided, it is imperative that the unit ensures that the source ofinformation remains anonymous. Unit HUMINT personnel should be consulted regarding the properhandling of information and the protection of sources.F-15. Regular sweeps of an AO should be conducted to reduce the availability of bomb-making materials.This becomes necessary to reduce the amount of military explosives or ordnance.F-16. Coordination with HN military or police forces can provide the unit with an increased HUMINTcapability, local credibility, additional insight into the community, and so forth. Caution must be taken toensure that operations security (OPSEC) is not compromised.F-17. Methods of interdicting enemy activity include conducting presence patrols, observation points, andcheckpoints. These methods deny the enemy access to key terrain for IED emplacement.Counter-IED-ambush teams and scout sniper teams can be employed to interdict or kill the enemy.21 September 2005 FMI 3-34.119/MCIP 3-17.01 F-5
