An MK 2 MTRS (Talon) robot prepares to pick up a battery during an explosive ordnance disposal familiarization training aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), July 23, 2014. Utilizing the Talon aboard the ship provides unique challenges the operator would not encounter on land. The training takes place monthly in order to maintain the perishable skillset required of EOD technicians. The six-man EOD team with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force South is tasked with participating in exchanges of military knowledge and tactics with partner-nations ashore in support of America’s maiden transit, “America Visits the Americas.” The ship is scheduled to be commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco.
