A U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance disposal technicians assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron operate a compact metal detector to assess a potential threat 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)
