Footage recorded by U.S. Marines deployed to the city of Marjah in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan employ an APOB system while giggling like little school girls the entire time.

If you're unfamiliar with the APOB system, I highly recommend checking out this video that we captured while embedded with U.S. Marines during Operation Northern Strike in 2016. That video shows a U.S. Marine Combat Engineer deploying an APOB to clear a breach before a massive combined arms assault range. This video will give you much needed perspective into the beauty of the "grenade rope."
