Description
A Claymore anti-personnel charge placed in the bottom of a crater that remained after a controlled explosion of recovered mines. After being rendered safe, mines and other recovered explosions were taken to a central safe point and detonated. The resulting crater formed an ideal site for subsequent detonations. Australian sappers attached to the Nations Training Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) were posted to Mine Clearance Training Units (MCTU) and gave courses in land mine identification, minefield marking and mine clearance to the local people.
