Are we not escorting our supply convoys? That seems like the most logical way of countering the ambushes. Of course, we may not have enough combat arms units there to give proper protection...imagine that. I say again, the military needs to be re-built, not just given new toys.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Convoy escort is generally the responsibility of MP units, not combat arms. Feel safer?

Three ways to secure your movement:

1-Build strong convoys; arm the vehicles, provide escorts, etc so the convoys can fight their way thru.

2-Secure the route; outposts, patrols, etc so the convoys just roll right thru.

3-Go after the bad guys until they are all killed, captured, running away, or have given up the fight.

The last is the best & decisive way, but is also the hardest to achieve. We are doing a combination of all three methods based on the specific route, the enemy, the friendly forces available, etc.
