So we were running around and you got sandbags, like that's what's protecting us from the blast from underneath.

And at that time, now IEDs start picking up because...

I wasn't there for the initial evasion, but I think it was, oh, I think it was three, oh, I have three that I was there, if I remember correctly.

And so IEDs had started picking up.

And so then it was kind of trying to figure out the, you know, what was the detonator, if it was victim initiated or if it was something that they could set off with a cell phone.

But I do remember getting tasked with just like, all right, team, you're going that way.

You guys are all sweeping.

We didn't have any type of metal detectors at the time.

And it was just like, okay.

What are you supposed to shuffle your feet like it's a stingray?

You're just kind of looking for anything that seems out of place.

Come on.

But I mean, like literally even in that, you're like, okay, well, what the fuck?

What is my, what's my goal?

What's my next thing that I can do?

The next step.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

Stop.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

As the battlefield is adapting to what the enemy is doing, you don't have a choice but to be out and doing things of that nature.
