Use binoculars to scan the route ahead to identify hazard ous areas where increased alertness is needed.* Use abandoned mined areas to practice locating mines visu ally. In Vietnam, 50 percent Of the mines were detected visu ally and 33 percent were detected with metallic mine detectors (most Of them had metal cases). Watch for mine packing materials such as wood boxes, metal cans, and cardboard tubes.* Ensure mine-detector Opera tors and probers are highly trained and experienced. Rotate them every 20-30 min utes. The average soldier can effectively Operate a detector for one turn every 4 hours.* Sweep the entire road, including shoulders, to a minimum of 5 meters from the edge of the road. This width allows most vehicles to do a U-turn or to pull Off to the side to allow another unit to pass. Watch for trip wires along the shoulders. Note: Dirt and gravel shoulders, the easiest areas to mine, are the most commonly mined parts of any road in Bosnia.
