Destroying enemy plans
SATHER AIR BASE, Iraq -- Staff Sgt. Carlos Sanchez, 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, shows a pressure wire once planted by insurgents, but now serves as a visual example of improvised explosive device-making materials in the unit’s “IED graveyard.” The wires are wound and bound to complete an electrical circuit with pressure, such as from a foot or a vehicle tire, setting off an explosion designed to maim or kill its victims. Sergeant Sanchez is part of a team of EOD technicians serving at Sather AB, Baghdad, Iraq. He is deployed from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. (Staff Sgt. Jennifer Lindsey)
