I really enjoy the Hero Workouts in CrossFit. Every time I read who they are dedicated to it seems that they are always killed by an IED. What is that?

An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) is an explosive device made from commonly available materials, such as artillery shells and dynamite, that can be used to create an explosion. These devices are often used as weapons in war or in terror attacks. Many heroes who have passed away whilst serving their country were killed by IEDs. That's why the Hero Workouts in CrossFit honour those fallen soldiers each time they are performed - to remind us of the sacrifices these men and women make for our freedom.

An IED (improvised explosive device) is a device constructed and used to cause an explosion. It typically consists of a small amounts of explosives mixed with substances such as cotton, ball bearings or nuts to act as trigger, dispersal and shrapnel materials. IEDs are commonly used in military conflict or crime situations such as planting bombs in areas where they will do the most harm.
