Yep. Sniper teams, UAVs, fast patrols that can 
sneak around, and of course locals that are tired 
of their own cars getting snatched and all the 
potholes so they point the knuckleheads out in 
crowds. etc. You won't believe the number of 
times they've nailed IED planters with shovels 
with some kind of weapon. John here was running 
around in an IED digging machine that Force 
Protection made positively ruining some poor 
Hajii's day on a regular basis because he had a 
feel for when they were planting their bombs and 
Johns crew could roll up, poke around at at with 
their long command operated robot rake and Poor 
Mr mad bomber couldn't do diddly squat. I'm sure 
he (John) was cackling with glee the whole time.
