Mortar Practice

Within our TX ADT-5 team there are many Soldiers with specialized skills.  On 19 July 2011, some of our Soldiers were able to show off their skills at the mortar range.  They fired both in conventional mode with a bipod and in hand-fire mode, where they just looked at a level and aimed without a sight.  We have to brag on our guys: even the First Army trainers were impressed!

Check out some of the pictures below to see how they did!

SSG Verdine was the NCOIC for the training.
