Ready Fire
Staff Sgt. Chris Ley, 49th Security Forces Squadron Combat Arms Training and Maintenance instructor, coaches Airman 1st Class Zachary Harter, 49th Civil Engineer Squadron structures apprentice, as he shoots the M-4 rifle at the Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Combat Arms Training and Maintenance range July 18. Before any Holloman Airman goes on a deployment, they must complete the weapons qualifications course, which includes a weapons-familiarization training block taught in the classroom and at the shooting range. To qualify, Airmen must shoot targets at 7, 15 and 25 meters, while going through a combination of multiple target drills, threat discrimination, and burst-fire sessions.
