The document provides instruction on identifying, marking, reacting to, and reporting unexploded ordnance (UXO) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). It outlines the four types of UXO, how to recognize hazards, establish safety, and react according to established procedures. The presentation teaches the key components of the UXO spot report used to correctly document and communicate hazardous devices. Trainees learn to consider the operational environment and recent CIED mistakes to effectively apply these skills.

92. Center for Army Lessons Learned
The most recent version of common CIED mistakes are:
Establishing route patterns
Relying on up armor to “find” IED’s
Moving (straying) from swept lanes
Establishing other patterns
Failure to check vulnerable areas
Failure to conduct proper threat analysis
Failing to use or improper use of CIED equipment
Failing to sweep for secondary IED’s or command wire after a find
Over confirmation
