    A uniformed soldier in combat gear and helmet is working on or inspecting a large green artillery piece, likely a howitzer, in an outdoor grassy setting. The equipment shows significant weathering and rust, suggesting it may be older or in need of maintenance. A wooden step ladder (branded 'Husky') is propped against the barrel of the artillery piece.

    U.S. Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Evan Putman, assigned to 1108th Ordnance Company at Glenville, N.Y., uses a long pole to determine the approximate location of a lodged artillery round inside the barrel of an old howitzer during the stuck round lane of the fifth annual Department of the Army level explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Team of the Year competition, Sept. 12 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.
