Which of the following options reflects the responsibilities of tier 3 CIED capable units?

Tier 3 CIED capable units are specifically designed to develop and integrate advanced capabilities to counter improvised explosive devices in a variety of operational environments. These units typically focus on gathering intelligence, conducting advanced analysis, and executing specialized missions related to counter-IED strategies.

While the responsibilities that might be associated with tier 3 units could include aspects of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and conducting route clearance operations, these tasks are primarily the responsibilities of tier 1 and tier 2 units. Tier 1 units usually handle immediate EOD tasks, while tier 2 units engage in route clearance and other operational support related to IED threats.

The correct choice reflects an understanding that the specific responsibilities of tier 3 units may differ from those commonly associated with frontline operational units tasked with on-the-ground engagement of explosive threats. Thus, the assertion that tier 3 units are not responsible for providing explosive ordnance disposal services or conducting route clearance operations is accurate.
