A table full of components used to construct improvised explosive devices is among the intricately crafted static displays created to model an insurgent IED factory in Marine Corps Base Hawaii’s new Mobile Counter-IED Interactive Trainer. The trainer, a series of four trailers decked out with a plethora of high-definition TVs and intricately crafted visual displays, provides Marines a practical, step-by-step education on one of the most significant threats currently facing troops on the ground — the deadly improvised explosive device. The MCIT helps Marines recognize IEDs and production materials, understand the insurgent mindset and tactical use of IEDs, and how to mitigate their effectiveness and respond to IED events.
