Chavarria, 21, a combat engineer with Route Clearance Platoon, Company A, 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 5, walks with a mine detector, Aug. 14, 2008, while searching for mines on the Iraq and Syrian border. The platoon marked two minefields and detonated six mines. Route Clearance Platoon's responsibilities normally include patrolling the roadways of Iraq to ensure the safe travel of coalition forces. Though trained in explosives, this is the first time this deployment that the platoon has detonated any explosives they have found.
