U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers assigned to the 365th Combat Engineer Company - Infantry (CEC-I), 412th Theater Engineer Command, and 428th CEC-I, 416th Theater Engineer Command, lay in the prone position for protection, prior to the M18A1 Claymore Anti-Personnel Mine and Selectable Lightweight Attack Munition (SLAM) live demolition during Northern Strike 26-2, at Camp Grayling, Mich., Aug. 4, 2026. Just before the explosion, Soldiers are instructed to lower their heads and open their mouths to balance the air pressure of eardrums.
