Description
English: Operation Bright Star 01-02: A United States 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 2001'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 U.S., its key allies, and its regional partners. It prepares U.S. Central Command(CENTCOM) to rapidly deploy and employ the armed forces to deter aggressors and, if necessary, fight and win side-by-side with its allies and regional partners.
