Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Soldiers of the 530th Engineer Company “Bloodhounds”, 92nd Engineer Battalion, attached to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, use a smoke grenade for concealment as they prepare to set up M1A2 Bangalore Torpedoes on a concertina wire obstacle during a training exercise here, Dec. 5. The torpedoes are long sticks of explosive, designed to be readily employed to breach large obstacles. The Bangalore breach mission is commonly referred to as the “WWII breach” as it is a tactic that was much more commonly used in the WWII era, said Cpt. Colby Larson, the executive officer for the 530th Eng. Co. However, soldiers still train up on it today so that they will be ready for whatever is needed of them when the time comes. This training was just a small part of a three-day, nine-event training exercise that the 530th has conducted to better assess and develop the necessary skills within the Soldiers of the only route clearance company in all of Fort Stewart.
