Sgt. 1st Class Jacob Nelson, a Wichita native and platoon sergeant with the Kansas National Guard, examines and checks a metal detector for locating mines in order to answer a question posed about it from a Armenian soldier with the Engineering Company of the Armenian Peacekeeping Brigade. Armenian troops are relatively new to using metal detecting devices to locate mines. Kansas National guardsmen and a civilian representative from the U.S. Humanitarian Demining Training Center are instructing Armenian peacekeepers and engineer battalions on international demining standards as part of the Humanitarian Mine Action program and will assist the Armenian government in developing a national standard operating procedure for demining.
