Soldiers and cadre members of 2nd Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment gathered on Aachen Range Feb. for a marksmanship competition to promote esprit de corps while improving weapons proficiency. A Soldier from each company would only enter the firing line after they had donned their protective mask and completed a series of physical activities. The competition consisted of firing at zeroing targets, shooting from behind barriers and reflexive fire.
