Subject
Mini-Flail in Afghanistan
Category
Equipment
Situation
As with most equipment, breakdowns are unforeseeable. The Mini-Flail has had mechanical difficulties in minefields. Current techiques are to don mine protective boots and enter the minefield to assertain the problem.
Recommendation/
Comment
A solution to entering the minefield is to attach a winch cable to the rear of the Mini-Flail. This can slow operations, however it does eliminate the need for personnel to enter the mined area.
