    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting a breaching exercise, using an explosive charge to blow open a wall or door in a training structure. The detonation has produced a large orange fireball and debris is visibly flying outward. The soldiers are clustered together in a stack formation adjacent to the blast point, consistent with standard breach-and-enter tactics.

    MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines shield themselves from a detonated explosive charge during an urban leaders course, Jan. 29, 2016. During the course, Marines learned four different types of charges used to make a safe entrance into an objective. This type of training allows Marines to practice for possible scenarios when they are deployed to combat zones anywhere on the globe. An instructor with 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, taught this portion of the course to infantrymen of 1st MarDiv. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Emmanuel Ramos)
