Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization Annual Report 2010
Abstract
For five years, the critical purpose of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) has been to rapidly provide counter-IED (C-IED) capabilities to warfighters. JIEDDO has provided significant support along three lines of effort -- Attack the Network, Defeat the Device, and Train the Force. This annual report provides an accounting of JIEDDO's efforts and investments in fiscal year (FY) 2010. Highlights include: * Supporting increased Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) C-IED requirements via rapid acquisition, reprogramming of funds, and repurposing of previous investments on the magnitude of $1.2 billion from an overall $2.7 billion effort * Providing fused information tools for warfighters in the field to enable and enhance their capabilities to attack enemy IED networks * Streamlining organizational processes to speed acquisition efforts As 2010 closes, we have witnessed the return on our significant C-IED investments that reduced the volume, as well as lethality, of IEDs in Iraq. IED use has leveled off to the lowest in six years.
