Clouds of charcoal-colored dust fill the streets as mock IED’s detonate, and the echo of machinegun fire adds to the realistic environment as Marines from Combat Logistics Battalion 2 are tested during a vehicle patrol August 20, 2014 in Holley Ridge, North Carolina. While the IED’s and casualties were fake, the realistic scenarios helped the members of CLB-2 experience the physical and mental strains of dealing with an IED. The training ensures the Marines are ready to employ counter-IED skills in any scenario.
