                        They are a lane marking system to mark a cleared lane through a mine field. There are poles with flag on top in the boxes that get dropped and stick in the ground at intervals as the ESV clears a lane. Between the flags is the cleared lane for other vehicles to follow.

                        Gino, were those things referred to as CLAMS at one time? T. Ellis

                        There was a similar sytem fitted onto the back of Abrams plow tanks that were known as CLAMS (Clear LAne Marking System).  The Abrams CLAMS used chalk and flags.  I guess it is similar.  I have not heard it called CLAMS w/Stryker ESVs though.
