What is the Counter Improvised Explosive Device Task Force?
The Department of National Defence established the C-IED TF in June 2007 to act as the focal point for C-IED issues within the Canadian Forces. The C-IED TF directs and/or coordinates all Canadian Forces C-IED efforts ranging from capability development to doctrine and training. The C-IED TF is part of the whole-of-government approach to C-IED. Lead by the Government of Canada, this comprehensive approach brings to bear the full weight of the Nations political, diplomatic, economic, development and security capabilities.
