Sgt. Chino Thompkins, a native of Suisun, Calif., and a member of the 1st Platoon, 541st Sapper Company, 54th Engineer Battalion, 18th Engineer Brigade, interrogates a suspected pressure plate improvised explosive device with a Spanish engineer soldier during a tactical foot patrol to discover and defeat IEDs during Interdict 12, Oct. 31, 2012. The exercise, hosted by the Spanish engineers, is to foster and enhance the interoperability among engineer units towards counter IED operations. The intent is to focus on the roles that military engineers can perform to defeat the enemy's IED system using a scenario as similar to Afghanistan as possible.
