    A soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is bent over examining objects on sandy ground, including what appear to be sandbags and a small circular device. Behind the soldier is a tracked military robot, likely an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) robot. The setting appears to be a military training area with mock structures and shipping containers in the background.

    Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Tygret, assigned to 744th Ordnance Disposal Company, 52nd Explosive Ordnance Group, uses his hand to mark the perimeter of a horseshoe-shaped protective wall that he will construct out of sandbags around the mission objective during the protection works lane of the fifth annual Department of the Army level explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Team of the Year competition, Sept. 11 at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. The week-long competition is part of a new initiative of the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, called the U.S. Army Ordnance Crucible, which combines the results of this competition with two other competitions that were held at Fort Pickett. Those competitions were on ammunition transfer holding points (ATHP) and combat repair teams (CRT). The three unique competitions will provide an opportunity for senior leaders to assess ammunition, maintenance and EOD professionals across the institutional Army, operational force and individual leader development domains.
