ammunition out of the damaged vehicles, according to the United States, “Signal” magazine in November, reported in the overseas U.S. military, active in a low-key acting special forces – field crime scene investigation team. With powerful technical tools and expertise, from complex battlefield force to extract useful information for the U.S. military to effectively counter the insurgents made a contribution.

should focus on roadside bomb attacks

in Iraq, Afghanistan, U.S. forces shortly after the attack often, attackers will be able to announce the use of weapons, the number of own forces and other information, media reports have also cited, but few people noticed these “reliable information” is how to obtain. From the militants it? The answer is – the attackers on the Internet that will only be responsible for certain events. The truth is that after the attack there will be a special forces rushed to the scene, this is the field of crime scene investigation team.

U.S. military investigation team has several teams, including the largest and most successful is the group in Iraq weapons intelligence (WIT). Before beginning the withdrawal of coalition forces in the United States and Britain, WIT’s work has won top recognition, it is still in Iraq. According to the person in charge of WIT Baghdad Division, Air Force 士达斯汀科 Gheit described the investigation staff and the criminal investigation movie scene is very different, their main task is to determine the specific location of roadside bombs, and collect useful data to deal with such attacks. Sometimes, WIT also involved in other attacks such as attacks, car bombs, mortar attacks.

Each survey team is usually composed of five different professional backgrounds of staff, including weapons experts and photographers. A team leader is usually explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) experts, co-ordinate all matters relating to the site. In exceptional circumstances, will join the investigation team of linguists to help in the collection of information.

investigation face multiple pressures

receiving the mission, WIT need to attack the type and composition of expert groups to carry the appropriate equipment to the scene. Team members will collect in the first scene photos, collecting forensic evidence such as fingerprints, hair, clothing fragments, be sent back analysis, the results of the survey in order to take counter-measures. WIT first action with the U.S. Army, but with the withdrawal of ground forces in Iraq, the Air Force took over the team by the majority of special forces units.

Although well-equipped and well-trained experts, the investigation team is still faced with multiple pressures. Cooperation with the Army in Iraq, a number of front-line commanders expect too much of WIT, Ke Gaite said that some expectations are unrealistic, such as asking them to predict the next attack on the enemy’s location and use of tactics, weapons and so on. Sometimes, working groups will be notified of the investigation have assault occurred elsewhere, hoping that they reinforce, the investigation must be carried out very quickly.

now, WIT has a new mission. Taking into account the security situation in Iraq after the withdrawal of U.S. forces face the risk of re-deterioration, WIT can begin training Iraqi experts doing similar work. But WIT mission to expand, and the U.S. military’s internal security policies, so that the force of more restricted action. Allegedly, there are too many front-line commanders to the Iraqi opposition said U.S. existing technology, this is very embarrassing situation for WIT members.
