A Marine Corps armored vehicle launches a Mine Clearing Land Charge (MCLC) to demonstrate how to clear the ground of land mines on an Egyptian firing range just outside of Mubarak Military City in Egypt. Marines from the 1st Tank Battalion, 29 Palms, California, conducted an in-stride breech live fire demonstration in front of numerous nations as part of coalition training for this year's BRIGHT STAR 01-02 Exercise. An In-Stride Breach is a special type of operation used to overcome and breakthrough unexpected or lightly defended obstacles. BRIGHT STAR is a multinational exercise involving more than 74,000 troops from 44 countries that is designed to enhance regional stability and military-to-military cooperation among the US, our key allies, and our regional partners. It prepares US Central Command to rapidly deploy and employ the armed forces to deter aggressors and, if necessary, fight and win side-by-side with our allies and regional partners.

A useful demonstration, in that AO, imo, would be to have a full USMC MEU do a FPF demonstration.
The videos that get sent around of that demo could serve well to remind various persons in various places just how much hell can be unleashed at will upon need at our enemy.
