How can the US Military better defend against IED attacks in Iraq?

C H asked:


It seems the biggest problem over in Iraq is IEDs (improvised explosive devices) they are hidden everywhere and pose a real problem to US military forces. They are working on new vehicles that are more resistant against IED attacks, but what do you think would be a good defense against IEDs? PLEASE - no anti-war junk! 10 points!
