Lance Cpl. Mina S. Gadelkarim, left, spots targets for 1st Lt. Jacob A. Zalewski as he engages targets with his M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System 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. 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 their Australian allies, and improves interoperability with their forces. Zalewski, a Phoneix, Arizona native, is the Scout Sniper Platoon commander. Gadelkarim, a Campbell, Texas native, is a rifleman assigned with the platoon. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Joey S.
