Date is approximate. Large IEDs i.e. VBIEDs have been used offensively and defensively as OS such as in Mada, Kala Balge LGA in November 2015 and in Marte, Marte LGA where an attack was initiated by a VBIED detonating next to an APC and in the defence of Bama where waves of VBIEDs (and PBIEDs) deployed from behind a belt of victim operated IEDs (in essence an improvised minefield) tried to halt or delay the towns liberation. Interestingly the enemy was defeated in all of the reported actions in which VBIEDs were used.
