U.S. Army Spc. Alan George, 1st Battalion, 124th Infantry regiment, Bravo Company, hangs a mortar round before releasing it for deployment Aug. 8, 2016, at Arta, Djibouti. The process of ‘hanging’ a mortar involves holding the mortar round in the launch tube and, once the command of fire is announced, dropping the round in the tube for discharge. The 1-124, a component of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, is deployed from Cocoa, Fla., to perform security operations in the region. (U.S. Air Force Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
