Often, we have to explain to people what "Route Clearance" means. Of course, most fans of CSAS know what it is, but the title is a bit ambiguous. IED hunting is essentially what it is, and considering IEDs are by far the most common reason for American casualties in Iraq, having your main job as finding them is, needless to say, is having a dangerous one.

Never to worry, as the Army has taken measures. Not only do we have great vehicles, but we enlist the help of bomb disposal robots. They are great to have around, though they apparently don't take a blast well, as it isn't made of several tons of steel and flies like a soccer ball when blown up. I guess you could just say it's just another job hazard really.
