    Four soldiers in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage are stacked against the exterior wall of a building, preparing to make entry through a doorway. The lead soldier is aiming an AK-pattern rifle around the corner toward the door, while the others hold M4/M16-style rifles in a tactical stack formation. The setting appears to be an urban environment, likely a training exercise or combat operation in the Middle East.

    Sgt. Leonardo Tocaven, a policeman with the 194th Military Police Company and native of Chicago, keeps his eye on the door while teaching Iraqi commandos about room entry and clearing procedures July 19. This training, conducted at the Iraqi Police Abu Risha Brigade headquarters, teaches the Iraqis how to gain entry into a room, control the level of violence and apprehend suspects. It is a precursor to crime scene exploitation training, which covers how to preserve a crime scene to collect evidence and result in the arrest and conviction of individuals involved.
