Humvee with IED protection + Walls around living trailers

The black, semi-horizontal thing behind the soldier is a device attached to the front of the lead humvee in a convoy. It’s in the stowed position now, but when outside of the wire its lowered so that it will trip an infrared beam coming from an IED – although dangerous sounding, the theory is that an IED exploding 18 inches in front of a vehicle is going to do less damage than one going off exactly broadside.




You can just see the edge of the trailer between the concrete barriers.
