    A soldier in digital camouflage uniform is positioned in a fighting position or trench, operating what appears to be a Javelin anti-tank missile system. The weapon system is aimed toward a distant target area where dust clouds and smoke are visible on the horizon, suggesting an active firing exercise. The setting appears to be an arid, open training range.

    Spc. Vincent de Ruiter, a combat medic with 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, plays the opposing force and prepares to fire a Javelin missile launcher at oncoming tanks during the 116th eXportable Combat Training Exercise at the Orchard Combat Training Center, Idaho, Aug. 21. The XCTC is a program of record used by the Army National Guard since 2005 to train more than 11 combat and functional brigades. XCTC is a cost-efficient, time-efficient option for delivering combat readiness training to Soldiers at or near their home stations. This scalable live-training program has proven effective for pre-mobilization forces, in accordance with the Army Force Generation model. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
