    Military personnel are conducting maintenance or inspection work on a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter inside a large, well-lit hangar. Several soldiers in camouflage uniforms and at least one in flight suit are gathered around the aircraft, with one individual lying underneath the fuselage. The helicopter appears to have external fuel tanks or sensor pods mounted on its stub wings.

    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.
