An illumination mortar shell floats down to earth after being fired from a M224 60mm mortar on Forward Operating Base Torkham, Sept. 27, 2013. Soldiers from Company C, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division conducted live fire training to ensure that their skills remain sharp. As part of their training they fired both illumination and high explosive shells. Their target was a deserted mountainside outside their base. Before each mortar shell was fired, the Soldiers scanned the area to make sure that no living creature was nearby. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
