Paul Albaugh, a training specialist with the Marine Corps Engineer School, explains to Marines with Alpha Company, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, the importance of using a Compact Metal Detector during a week-long Counter-IED course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 2-5, 2015. Albaugh said that CIED is essential to 2nd CEB’s mission accomplishment because improvised explosive devices aren’t just centralized to Afghanistan, but are a global threat and will continue to be a global threat so having effective tactics, techniques and procedures in place is important.

A training specialist with the Marine Corps Engineer School demonstrates how to use a holley stick to Marines with Alpha Company, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division during the practical application portion of a week-long Counter-IED course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 2-5, 2015. A holley stick is a long metal rod utilized by combat engineer Marines that allows them to feel for any wires that are attached to an IED. It is implemented by scraping along the ground and entrances to compounds for trip wires that could detonate any IEDs. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Krista James/Released)
