An Abrams tank from Company B, 1st Battalion, 35th Armor Regiment, Task Force 4-27 "Thunder", 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, is seen from a palm grove in the Jabour area, south of Baghdad, Dec. 15. The grove surrounds farmland suspected of being mined and containing unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices. The tank has a roller attachment at its prow used to uncover mines and other explosive devices. Operation Panda Garden, under the direction of this company, is intended to clear the area of explosive devices and search for any caches buried in the area. The cleared farmland will then be used by local villagers and the grove will be tended for its dates.
