Photo Of The Day: What a “just in time” picture of a Green Beret with the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), as he fires an AT-4 anti-tank weapon during a heavy weapons rehearsal. The location was the Yakima Training Center, Wash., on Jun 24, 2022. This rehearsal provided an opportunity to fire both direct and indirect fire weapons which increases the team’s lethality.

The Yakima Training Center is a 327,000-acre training facility in the middle of the state of Washington. It has 25 ranges, including a modern Multi-Purpose Range Complex and a Shoot House that let service personnel practice in groups or alone.

Did you ever fire any of these heavy weapons?
