A mine would make sense to me. Once again this was a very highly considered crew. What on earth is going on with force protection here. Adam Ingram chose to hide behind secrecy when challenged about force protection by HCDC. He simply refused to answer the questions. A mine is explosive, Des Browne said last night that ESF would not have helped. I believe this remark is foolish and irresponsible. I believe this is the sort of thinking that has led to the loss of 2 Hercs and considerable loss of life. If our brave crews do not have fire cover on these strips they should have every other type of protection.
MODERN DAS Min Standard DIRCM
ESF Foam Protection for fuel tanks
FDA Flight Deck Armour
BALLISTIC (Kevlar) MATTING Protect passengers
How many more times do we have to say this? How many more Hercules do we have to lose?
