An MK 2 MTRS (Talon) robot is utilized to shake a simulated improvised explosive device out of a burlap sack during explosive ordnance disposal familiarization training aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), July 23, 2014. The training exercise consists of utilizing the Talon to move objects of recognition from one area to another in order to maintain the perishable skillset required of EOD technicians. The Talon allows for explosive ordnance technicians to inspect or disarm improvised explosive devices from a remote and safe location. 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 ashore with partner-nations in support of America’s maiden transit, “America Visits the Americas.” The ship is scheduled to be commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco.
