We received a briefing before we left on the convoy. It covered the routes, various radio frequencies and call signs, who was in charge of what, speed limits, and what to do if attacked.
We were told if an IED explodes in front of us, stop, back up, set up security and regroup. Shoot anyone overwatching the IED. Treat any wounded, call it in, and then move on. If it explodes by or behind us, same things except we roll past the area. If we receive sniper fire, we shoot back out of the windows and keep rolling. If it is a coordinated attack, RPG fire or an ambush, we pull over, attack into the threat, take it out, call it in, and move on with the mission. Sounds pretty simple. I'll bet it's more complicated than that if you actually have to do it.
