The M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) is a rocket projected explosive line charge which provides a "close-in" breaching capability for maneuver forces. It is effective against conventionally fuzed land mines and, when detonated, it provides a lane 8 meters by 100 meters. The MICLIC system consists of an M353 3-1/2 ton or M200A1 2-1/2 ton trailer (or M200 tracked trailer) chassis, a launcher assembly, an M147 firing kit, an M58A3 line charge and a 5-inch MK22 Mod 4 rocket. The line charge is 350 feet long and contains 5 pounds per linear foot of C-4 explosive. In the event a MICLIC fails to detonate normally, it can be manually activated by time-delay fuses every few feet along the length of it. Due to the inherent dangers of entering a live minefield to manually arm the backup fuses on a charge that could still detonate at any moment, possibly while under enemy fire as well, the act is jokingly referred to as the 'Medal of Honor run'.

  • @afshin021 thats like asking to borrow for some gum. 350 feet of 5 lbs of C4 per foot is 1700 lbs of C4... whos going to pay for all that? Other countries have C4 they can do it themselves. not our fault they dont care enough about there people to go out and get rid of the land mines...

  • man the harpoons

  • @WithoutRuleOfJeroth then no you are retarded... theres documented cases of laying these down streets in Iraq and detonating them to level the surrounding areas. Not exactly preventing collateral damage but the marines do what they have to to get the job done.

  • All I heard was KILL KILL KILL

  • And destroy every single inches of tarmac of a whole country ?

  • 2 bad the army wont lend any to all those countries were kids are killed and maimed everyday by land mines :S
