Sinjar, Iraq, Dec. 12, 2003: Combat engineers with Company C, 326th Engineering Battalion, attached to the 101st Airborne Division, take photos from a safe distance of their controlled detonation of grenades and mortars. The weapons were seized thanks to a “don’t call it a weapons buy-back, it’s a weapons reward program” in Iraq.
