Items such as pressure cookers, homemade pressure plates and other common materials are used by enemy forces to make improvised explosive devices. Marines from Marine Wing Support Squadron 373, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), learn about the different types of IED's and how they are made during a Counter IED Class held at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. MWSS-373 Marines receive the training before they can go on convoys with the unit. During the class, Marines are also taught to use a metal detector, which they use to find a low metallic pressure plate during practical application.
