Ammunition for the M16A4 and M4 service rifles is loaded into magazines during Table 3 of the Combat Marksmanship Program Sept. 24 at the Central Training Area. Table 3 is the intermediate portion of the CMP, which incorporates pivot drills, movement drills, headshots, controlled pairs, hammer pairs and “failure-to-stop” drills. Combat marksmanship proficiency is a key element in the foundation for military effectiveness in ground combat, unit defense, or security operations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Cedric R.
