    Four U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a mine detection and clearance training exercise in a desert environment. One soldier is crouching and using a metal detector while another uses a long-handled tool to probe the ground near a partially exposed simulated landmine or IED training device. The setting appears to be a training range, likely in the Mojave Desert based on the terrain and vegetation.

    U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers assigned to the 388th Engineer Company (Clearance) search for unexploded ordnance during clearance operations at Fort Irwin, California, March 22, 2026. Soldiers systematically searched the designated route using detection equipment and manual excavation techniques to identify potential explosive hazards before pipeline construction. The mission provided Army Reserve Soldiers realistic training while enabling the safe installation of a natural gas pipeline supporting Fort Irwin’s infrastructure.

    Three U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam (OCP) camouflage uniforms pose together in a desert training environment. The soldier on the left holds a red guidon flag marked '388' featuring the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers castle insignia. The setting appears to be a field training exercise in an arid, mountainous region.
    Three military personnel in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are kneeling and crouching on arid, rocky ground, closely examining a spot in the dirt. One soldier, identified by name tape as 'MERCARTER,' is using a pink-handled shovel to dig or probe the ground. At least one soldier has an 'EOD' (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) label visible on their kit, suggesting this is an IED detection or disposal training exercise.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are observing an explosion or detonation in a desert training environment. They are positioned near a tan-colored HMMWV (Humvee) military vehicle, using it as cover or a vantage point. A visible smoke plume rises in the background near the base of a rocky desert hillside.
    A group of approximately eight U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are gathered on a dirt road in an arid desert environment. One soldier is operating what appears to be a mine detector or metal detector device on the road surface. A tan MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle is positioned in the background on the same road.
    Four U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a mine detection and clearance training exercise in a desert environment. One soldier is crouching and using a metal detector while another uses a long-handled tool to probe the ground near a partially exposed simulated landmine or IED training device. The setting appears to be a training range, likely in the Mojave Desert based on the terrain and vegetation.
    A large group of approximately 20 military personnel in U.S. Army OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms pose for a group photograph in an arid desert environment. The soldiers are wearing combat gear including plate carriers, helmets, and sunglasses, suggesting a training exercise or field operation. The setting appears to be a desert training area, likely in the American Southwest based on the terrain and vegetation.
    An EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) technician in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is kneeling in sandy terrain, examining or uncovering an object partially buried in the ground. The individual wears an EOD-marked helmet and has an EOD unit patch on the right sleeve. The scene suggests a field operation involving the identification or handling of a buried object.
    The image shows a convoy of military mine-clearing and route-clearance vehicles traveling along a dirt road in an arid, desert-like environment. The lead vehicle appears to be equipped with a mine-roller or ground-pressure attachment at the front, consistent with IED/mine detection and neutralization equipment. The vehicles are painted in desert tan camouflage, suggesting a military operational or training context.
    A large tan/desert-camouflaged military vehicle is stationary in an arid desert environment with mountains visible in the background. A soldier in combat gear is visible in the open hatch at the top of the vehicle. The vehicle appears to be a specialized engineering or route-clearance vehicle equipped with front-mounted rollers or mine-clearing attachments.
