Follow an Army Route Clearance Company as they seek out and destroy Improvised Explosive Devices, or IEDs, the insurgents most effective weapon and the number one killer of troops in Afghanistan. Based in Southern Afghanistan, the heart of Taliban country, the Second and Third Platoons of the 23rd Sappers use specialized machines that can see underground and survive massive explosions. These two platoons are at the front line of the war as they clear the worlds most dangerous and heavily mined roads so mutli-national forces can get through - taking the hits so no one else has to.
