Description
Fort Polk, LA - Under the watchful eye of his coach, a rifleman trainee of Company A, Second Battalion, Third Advanced Individual Training Brigade, fires for record with the M-16 rifle at Ft. Polk's new M-16 transition range. Cited as "model for the entire Army," the new training facility incorporates improvement in design, operation, and target control. Among its several advanced features are 10 control towers - one for each firing lane. This multiple control makes the facility "10 ranged in one," since several different firing problems can be conducted at the same time.
