Airman 1st Class Matthew Rainey, a joint terminal air controller with the 82nd Expeditionary Air Support Operations Squadron provides a Close Air Support Request to AH-64 Apache helicopters from the Kuwait Air Force and 1st Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment, 40th Combat Aviation Brigade, during a live-fire exercise at Range 10 near Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, April 26. During the exercise an MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aerial system from Company F, 277th Aviation Regiment, marked targets with a laser while Rainey cleared the Apaches to fire. This is the first time in history an Army Gray Eagle has lased a target for a KAF Apache. (U.S. Army Photo by Staff Sgt. Ian M. Kummer, 40th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs)
