In re IED:

The term, "Improvised Explosive Device" has become a misnomer. The shaped-charge, electronically, or remotely detonated roadside mines are manufactured in Iran and are hardly improvised devices.

They are sophisticated mines that defeat armor, even tanks. We gotta come up with a way to detonate them in advance of our team's arrival.
