Cpl. Michael E. Monk fires a M40 A5 bolt action sniper rifle down range as part of an unknown distance qualification range August 18 at Bradshaw Field Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia, during Exercise Koolendong 14. The range focused on increasing scout sniper’s long range precision firing capabilities. The Marines challenged themselves with the M40 A5, M110 SASS and the M107 SASR. The Marines are with Scout Sniper Platoon, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment and are currently deployed in part of the Marine Rotational Force Darwin. The rotational deployment of U.S. Marines affords an unprecedented combined training opportunity with our Australian allies, and improves interoperability with our forces. Monk, a Palmdale, California native, is a rifleman assigned to Scout Sniper Platoon. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Joey S. Holeman, Jr./ Released)
