| U.S. Army 11th
Engineer Battalion, Alpha Company and Bravo Company 3/7 with
the 3rd Battalion, 69th Regiment Armor Task Force (Task Force
3-69) check for explosives in the water as they stand on a bridge
as the Task Force takes Objective Peach and cross the Euphrates
River just south of Baghdad April 2. The bridge was rigged with
explosives on the western side of the bridge and one small section
had been detonated without significant damage to the superstructure.
Other explosives on the beams did not detonate and the engineers
and EOD cleared the explosives while taking fire. (Jack Gruber/USA
