“I was walking along, sweeping the fields, when I got a big hit,” explained Lance Cpl. Patrick Jernigan, a combat engineer with 2nd Platoon, Company A, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion. “I kicked the dirt around a little bit, and I saw a bag sticking out, so I pulled it out. That’s when I saw the IED with some wires hanging out of it, sitting inside the bag.”
Thanks for the ping!
