CAMP TAQADDUM, Iraq (Jan. 7, 2006) ? Marines with Security Detachment, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, stand in front of their RG-31 Cougar after an improvised explosive device detonated while the Marines were on a routine security patrol here Jan. 6. The IED detonated directly under the vehicle; however, because the vehicle was an RG-31, the blast was pushed outward instead of directly straight up due to the unique ?V? ?shaped undercarriage. Of the five service members in the vehicle, two received concussions and two others received minor burns.
