    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is crouching near a partially excavated object in sandy desert terrain. Behind the soldier is a large military vehicle, appearing to be a Buffalo Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle (MPCV) or similar route clearance vehicle, identifiable by its large tines/fork attachment. The setting appears to be a Middle Eastern desert environment, consistent with operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    Sgt. David Denny of Ridge Crest, N.C., sets up a sandbag that is used to train Iraqi army soldiers on the Buffalo truck's long arm at Al Rasheed. "They can sweep and clear improvised explosive devices by themselves without needing coalition help, so it's really good," said Denny, a member of the 515th Company, 5th Engineer Battalion, attached to the 225th Engineer Brigade, Multi-National Division – Baghdad.
