“On November 22, 3rd Plt, Lima Company quickly learned that the rugged roads of the outlying areas were not exempt from IED attacks.  About three kilometers south of a village, an IED exploded in the middle of a convoy that was part of their “right seat/left seat” turnover with 3/6.  Fortunately, the IED exploded prematurely, and there were no coalition casualties.  After an exchange of small arms fire, the Platoon secured the area for the IED Task Force and an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team to arrive and investigate the site.” — Source: 3/3 Command Chronology for the Period 01 July to 31 December 2004
