Canadian Counter-IED Task Force shares and seeks info

Ottawa, ON - The Canadian Forces (CF) Counter Improvised Explosive Device Task Force (C-IED TF) launched classified and non-classified websites September 1. The sites will provide soldiers and the general public with timely and relevant information on counter-improvised explosive devices (C-IEDs).

“The IEDs are not an un-defeatable bogeyman. Steps are being taken for training and capability development that are going to allow [soldiers] to meet this threat and turn it against the enemy,” said Task Force Commander Colonel Omer Lavoie in an interview with Army News.

The classified and non-classified websites will act as repositories for all relevant C-IED information. They will serve as the primary platforms for C-IED collaboration, training content development, and timely information sharing and communication as it relates to the IED threat.

These websites will help the CF to access the latest C-IED information. The sites will support future deployment preparations, provide C-IED initiatives awareness, enable situational awareness of the global IED threat and enable intelligence-led operations in support of our overall C-IED efforts.

Soldiers can visit the site to request information directly from the C-IED TF and provide feedback.
