John Phillips, standing, a New Equipment Training Instructor, gives a class on the Selectable Lightweight Attack Munition (SLAM) to U.S. Soldiers, assigned to the Regimental Engineer Squadron, 2d Cavalry Regiment, at Tower Barracks, Grafenwoehr, Germany, Aug. 24, 2016. SLAM is a multipurpose munition designed to be readily portable and hand-emplaced against lightly armored infantry vehicles, parked aircraft and petroleum storage sites. It can operate day and night during all weather conditions to defeat selected targets using an Explosively Formed Penetrator warhead. SLAM has four operating modes: bottom-attack, side-attack, timed-demolition and operator-initiated mode. SLAM will self-destruct at the end of a set time selected by the operator during its employment. (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Gertrud Zach)
