They learned about the explosives through a walk down trail known as IED Lane. This event at the Crucible takes recruits down a path and through a small market place. Simulated IEDs are placed at various location along the way, including one filled with talcum powder that can be triggered by remote and trip wires. Today, all males recruited from west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually and Alpha Company will graduate recruit training Sept. 4.
