Description 110903-A-VB845-045

An Oshkosh Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) with a mine roller attachment
provides security in the Wanake Valley, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, Sep. 3, 2011. The mine roller is
used to detonate improvised explosive devices before they have a chance to harm service-members riding
in the vehicle. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Kristina Truluck/Released)



My military imagery is available for public domain. As the photographer, I don't have control over
how you may use it, but I ask that it be done with respect to the individuals represented here.

Our guys sill clear mines by sweepers and dogs.. The trucks do however have the grills and the undersides are armoured and APC's are shaped to deflect the blast..
Cool shot..

That's how we normally do it, too. Β The vehicles are nice for protection, but about two days into the mission, they got tight real quick, haha. Β 
Thank you!

Fantastic shot. Great scenery and what a spun out vehicle, could not have imagined it if I tried. I'm off to look at the Photography / Photojournalism / Military section now to see what other cool images there are.
