Pic from my basic training. We had a 3-day "EAKK"-training where we spent the time patrolling our operational area, looking for IEDs, UXOs, talking to "locals", guarding the checkpoint to our companies camp and patrolling the camp all with not much sleep and extremely hot temperatures. That was especially a pain in the you-know-where as we had to wear flak jackets when outside the camp...I drank so much but yet didn´t have to urinate because I sweated all the water our out. Atleast we slept in old ammo bunkers where it was pretty cool inside.
This scene shows the 3rd squad of my plattoon maning the checkpoint. We often had scenarios where we had to search cars or individuals for weapons and explosives or got shot at and had to react. On our first patroll outside the base I nearly triggered an IED but fortunately the guy behind me saw the thin wire and so we were able to call the EOD guys and they could "disarm" it (a squad from another platoon actually triggered it which caused a small explosion. Of course they´re DIs werent happy at all ^^). The checkpoint (only a small part here) was quite complex and had a lane where we searched cars, alert posts with machine guns etc.
The whole training was pretty cool because it actually had a practical use especially with todays "peace-keeping" missions like in Kosovo or Afghanistan (although especially the Kunduz area develops more and more into a battlefield nowadays).
