    The image shows U.S. Army soldiers working inside what appears to be the cargo/cabin area of a military helicopter, likely a CH-47 Chinook or similar transport aircraft. Two soldiers in the foreground are bent over inspecting or working on an access panel or hatch in the floor of the aircraft. Additional soldiers are visible in the background near the open rear ramp of the helicopter.

    Nuclear detection is the capability to identify and report the presence or movement of nuclear or radioactive materials from one point to another. It can be achieved through various technological devices and while detection activities are mostly conducted by customs and border guard forces, other agencies can contribute during, before and after a national-level threat. As a recent example, Soldiers from the Nuclear Disablement Team (NDT), 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) Command, hone their skills completing training on nuclear detection pods at the Maryland National Guard Aviation facilities in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., Feb. 19.
