As there’s the mine clearing Stryker, I understand there’s a risk of mines/IEDs?

Are there any known areas of danger or is the vehicle there to allow for safer clearing of any IEDs/mines instead of having to send an Engineer to clear it manually?

There are no known areas of danger since there was no activity coming from the insurgents until now. We know they exist and are in the area, but we have no knowledge about their numbers, strength, equipment, and tactics.
