Iraqi soldiers from the 72nd Iraqi Army Brigade fire an M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MCLC) during a combined arms breach training exercise at Besmaya Range Complex, Iraq, Jan. 24, 2016. MCLCs are long lines of explosive material that are usually fired into a minefield and detonated to clear a path for troops and vehicles to move through. By incorporating this into the training scenario, the brigade validates its ability to incorporate the technique as they move through and clear areas retaken from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Training at the building partner capacity sites, like Besmaya, is an integral part of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve’s multinational effort to train Iraqi Security Force personnel to defeat the Daesh (an Arabic acronym for ISIL.)
