Fire and light: ASLAVs with AMTG2 spend some valuable time training in the desert. The firepower demonstration gave the soldiers the chance to hone their skills and make a lot of smoke and noise in the process.

Friendly visit: The ASLAVs and their crews prove a hit with children from a village in the As Samawah area (below). Photos by LAC Kim Eager
