15/02/10 - Afghanistan : Operation BULL TRACK
Saturday, February 13, 2010, the Task Force Lafayette led a major route reconnaissance along the MSR VERMONT between forward operating base and the town of Nijrab Mahmud-e-Raqia. The area has become dangerous since the explosion of two improvised explosive devices (IED - IED), the means used were consistent.
Captain V., coordinator of the Engineering Brigade, details all of his device: "For this mission we have set up a section of engineers of Task Force BLACK ROCK, posting Route Opening (DOI) composed of Buffalo, and the Souvim Lemir, two teams of specialized operational searches (FOS), a team WIT (Weapon intelligence team) and finally the elements of observation and clearance (EOD).
To ensure the smooth running of the mission, the infantry platoons were deployed around the axis to create a security cordon. In addition, direct support platoon consists of three equipped with VAB 20 mm cannon, a turret VAB TV and made an AMX 10RC providing coverage at close range while the 120 mm mortar stand ready to act further in the device. In total more than 400 French soldiers and Afghan are present along the road.
The mission can begin. Lt. S., advisor to the Task Force FSO BLACK ROCK, explains in detail the purpose of his mission: "Part of the asphalt road is too thick to detect any son, my team will probe the vicinity of axis focusing on the great discovery that connects the lines. Here, our sensor cable is able to locate a possible line of fire and then by estimating the angle, we can identify the location of IEE. If this is the case and that the explosive device is visible we'll call the EOD team. If it is buried in the earth, the Buffalo can intervene.
Finally any IED only be detected. Used to secure the logistics convoys VULCAIN Task Force on the road, the IC of the Route Opening explains: "This operation is crucial for two reasons. First it shows the locals that we are active against the threat and secondly, it allows the avoidance of doubt on the presence of IEDs son and therefore sleeping. This reassures us that we are doing this trip regularly.
Having surveyed the roadside more than 3 km for several hours, the engineers removed any suspected improvised explosive device in the area. However we must remain vigilant as confirmed by the coordinator of the Engineering Brigade: "the route is clear but there is nothing that says that tomorrow or in three days it will still be the case, he must either post elements monitoring before the passage of a convoy or redo a route reconnaissance.

Mid Caption: Combat Team Waler stays focused on security tasks
As the Overwatch Battle Group commences its drawdown, Diggers from Combat Team Waler continue daily patrols in support of Iraqi security forces to counter the Improvised Explosive Device threat in Southern Iraq.
The Diggers have been conducting mounted and dismounted patrols and vehicle check points with the Iraqi Security Force. The vehicle check points also provide a training bonus, allowing the Australians to mentor and assess the ISF’s overall security skills.
The patrols, in coordination with US, coalition and ISF have reduced the IED threat to all time low in the region.
The soldiers have also been busy conducting handover liaison with the US soldiers who will soon take responsibility for ‘overwatch’ security in Dhi Qar and Al Muthanna.
The Australian troops are well advanced on their pack-up and are on track to return to Australia mid-year, in line with the Government’s election commitment.

Some 33,000 Iraqi soldiers have now been retrained by Australian soldiers, and Iraqi security forces have now taken over responsibility for security in Al Muthanna and Dhi Qar provinces.
Long after the Diggers are home, their legacy will be benefitting local Iraqis. The Battle Group has been project-managing over 180 reconstruction projects, including new or renovated shool buildings, sporting facilities and community parks, water and irrigation projects, rural projects to enhance crop and animal production, health clinics and power supply initiatives.
