Lance Cpl. Beau Bechtel, a rifleman with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and fellow squad members patrol down a dusty path during counter-improvised explosive device training at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, April 26, 2011. The training was part of a two-week evolution that allowed 3/3 Marines to learn and practically apply counter-IED techniques under the watchful eye of instructors from the Marine Corps Engineer Center of Excellence. During mounted and dismounted patrols, MCEC instructors introduced simulated IED explosions, small-arms fire and casualty scenarios in order to guide Marines on how to mitigate the threat of IEDs, and respond to their detonation.
