    Military personnel in desert camouflage (MARPAT) uniforms are conducting a live-fire training exercise at what appears to be a military firing range. Two soldiers are positioned at an M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun mounted on a bipod, with a large quantity of spent brass casings and linked ammunition visible on the ground. A third soldier stands in the background near warning signs, observing the exercise.

Pete Williams, a machine gunner with Alpha Co. and native of San Diego, as he engages targets with a .50 caliber machine gun during a live-fire exercise on Range 222 here, Sept. 4, 2013. The Alpha Co. Marines fired Mk-19 grenade launchers, M249 squad automatic weapons and M240B medium machine guns Sept. 4 and 5 to crosstrain and refine their skills with each weapon system. Many of the new riflemen in the company fired the SAW for the first time because it's no longer included during the rifleman training curriculum at Infantry Training Battalion since it is now classified as a machine gun.
