    Military personnel in a secured outdoor area are undergoing a security screening process. A soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern is using a Garrett metal detector wand to screen soldiers wearing OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms with tactical vests. The setting appears to be a controlled access point with chain-link fencing, concertina wire, and camouflage netting.

    Army Reserve Sgt. David Kim, assigned to the 822nd Military Police Company, Arlington Heights, Illinois, conducts a pat-down search at an entry control point in a mock detention facility during Combat Support Training Exercise 86-17-02 at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, from August 5 – 25, 2017. Thousands of Army Reserve Soldiers joined service members from different service branches to train in a large-scale exercise focused on multi-echelon and multi-functional, realistic, tactical training to challenge and improve the proficiency of leader and collective tasks. One of the key focuses of the CSTX was to return to, and understand basic Soldier skills. The exercise moved Soldiers away from the sustainment lifestyle in forward operating bases, and Soldiers worked and lived in a more austere environment. Command Sgt. Maj. Ted Copeland, Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army Reserve explained that moving Soldiers out of FOBs will develop them to become more mobile and agile and that it is necessary for survivability.
