“We drop them, drag them through the mud, freeze them, put them through all kinds of conditions,” Steffen said of his primary job, testing weapons and equipment.

Steffen also participates in testing vehicles, ammunition, and explosives under a variety of circumstances. He recently took part in testing the new MRAP vehicle. It’s a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected truck that will replace the Hummer and other small vehicles.
