Soldiers on the hunt for Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) stop after a suspect device is located. Troops of 2nd Battalion The Rifles (2 Rifles) mounted a 20 hour operation to clear a safe route to Patrol Base (PB) Wishton in Sangin, Afghanistan. One of the main roads that leads to the PB is well known for having a large number of IEDs. With the aid of the Royal Engineers, 2 Rifles cleared the way and made a new route to the PB that can now be monitored 24 hours a day. This now allows vital supplies to get to the Patrol Base unhindered, whilst it is upgraded to a Forward Operating Base.
