Soldiers from the 1st Mentoring Task Force have run a 16 day course to teach ANA soldiers the art of marksmanship.
The marksmen have been helping them each day to learn how to operate the new weapons and engage targets of varying sizes over varying distances.
This new capability allows the ANA to provide over-watch for patrols and to engage targets at extended ranges.
