POTD: New Zealand Army Combat Corps
TFB’s Photo Of The Day has become an impressive gallery, with an ever-growing number of images of firearms in all sorts of environments. Today we’re going to add a few more from the NZ Defence Force and their Army Combat Corps soldiers as they’re in an exercise on the West Coast. Their soldiers mainly use the LMT MARS-L, with a Trijicon ACOG scope and an RMR red dot.
The photo above is extremely similar to this one: The LMT MARS-L in New Zealand, it just rains more.
Combat Corps soldiers on exercise in the West Coast. This close country training includes scenarios focussing on combatting a fictional militia force in New Zealand terrain. This prepares our soldiers for operations in the South-West Pacific.
This was the final testing phase for the soldiers and is the culmination of seven months of training.

Thanks for tuning in. Tomorrow we’ll be back with a bunch of new images, probably from a drier place.

Giving me proper 80’s Predator vibes.
Will NZ go for the Army's new M5 battle rifle and M250 machine gun?
