In May 1996 Then President W. Clinton signed an Order banning use of non-self destructing anti-personnel landmines. Soldiers after that time do not receive any training except on the M18A1 Claymore (command detonated only) and anti-tank mines.

This is by Executive Order only and not signed into Law.
