Combined Joint Task Force Troy’s Combined Explosive Exploitation Cell
Phil Whitley, an explosives enforcement officer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and member of United States Forces-Iraq Combined Joint Task Force Troy’s Combined Explosives Exploitation Cell, takes a closer look through a magnifying glass at a piece from an improvised explosive device to search for any identifying marks Dec. 8, 2010, on Camp Victory, Iraq. One key responsibility of CJTF Troy and CEXC is neutralizing the improvised explosive devices’ threat through collection and exploitation of IED evidence and related intelligence. CJTF Troy is dedicated to countering IEDs and saving lives of Iraqi and joint forces conducting Operation New Dawn. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Andrew Lee)
