Members of the 1/77th Armor Regiment, assigned to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, conduct range training in Arta, Djibouti, July 8, 2015. The service members, who recently arrived at Camp Lemonnier, were required to qualify on two small-arms weapon systems: the M4 rifle and the M9 pistol. U.S. Army soldiers regularly practice the fundamentals of shooting, as it is an important skill to the success of any mission they are conducting. (U.S. Air Force Photos by Staff Sgt.
