On January 13, 2017 Second Lieutenant Clark Kreitzer, a Marine attached to Combat Engineer Officer course 1-17 (CEO 1-17); practices using a VMR-2 Minehound. The VMR-2 is a compact , dual sensor explosive hazard detector. This device is designed for the detection of buried or submerged high metallic, low metallic, and non-metallic explosive hazards. This piece of equipment is particularly important because of its ability to detect enemy IED’s, which have become the largest threat to our military forces.
