U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Stephen Kaufman, explosive ordnance disposal technician assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, surveys the horizon during nighttime counter improvised explosive device training at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Oct. 21, 2017. The scenario, based off of real-world experiences, tested the EOD technicians’ combat operational skills in a low-visibility environment. The Airmen began the night with a simulated air insertion, followed by a five-kilometer movement to a location where they would detect, disarm, detonate and dispose of simulated explosive threats. The training is to prepare for EOD support of special operations forces in a contingency environment. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Patrick Evenson)
