    Trainers from the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (background) instruct Combat Engineers from the 510th Clearance Company, 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade, on operator-level maintenance and set up of the Talon IV interrogation robot. The Soldiers are being trained to employ robots, like the Talon IV, to interrogate explosive hazards in conduct of their mission of clearing routes, areas of Improved Explosive Devices and other explosive hazards to assure freedom of maneuver. Testing by the U.S. Army Operational Test Command is combined with training conducted by actual units, who incorporate system missions into the unit’s training needs in order to obtain testing and training effects.
