U.S. Army Staff Sgt. James C. Allen takes cover from small arms fire in Qara Khel, Paktika province, Afghanistan, July 30, 2011. This is what we picture when we think of “the warfighter”: a single, solitary soldier engaged in a fight for his life, armed only with a rifle. Not pictured, however, are the other members of his unit and their supporting arms. Photo by: Spc. Jacob Kohrs, US Army. Public domain.
