Soldiers from the 744th Engineer Battalion, 744th Engineer

Soldiers from the 744th Engineer Battalion, 744th Engineer Company and 368th Engineer battalion prepare a M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge for detonation July 24 at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif. The Soldiers only get to fire off live explosives on rare occasions, so they are excited to learn how to fire a MICLIC. The MICLIC is propelled by a solid fuel rocket, which is connected to a 100 meter rope of five pound blocks of C-4 explosives. After being launched, the rope of C-4 is detonated clearing a vehicle-wide path through potentially deadly terrain. (U.S. Army Reserve Photo by Pfc. Brian N. Lang / 205TH Press Camp Headquarters)
