Summary edit

Description
English: Soldiers on patrol come to a halt after a suspected Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) is found up ahead.

Troops of 2nd Battalion The Rifles (2 Rifles) mounted a 20 hour operation to clear a safe route to Patrol Base (PB) Wishton in Sangin, Afghanistan.

One of the main roads that leads to the PB is well known for having a large number of IEDs. With the aid of the Royal Engineers, 2 Rifles cleared the way and made a new route to the PB that can now be monitored 24 hours a day. This now allows vital supplies to get to the Patrol Base unhindered, whilst it is upgraded to a Forward Operating Base.
