    Three military tanks are visible on an open grassy firing range, with at least one actively firing its main gun, producing a visible muzzle flash and smoke. The scene appears to be a live-fire training exercise conducted in a flat, open terrain with tree lines in the background. The image was taken from an elevated observation position overlooking the range.

    Three M1A2 Abrams tank crews from Company B, 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, engage targets at Crittenberger Multipurpose Range Complex during a series of gunnery tables. As a part of an integrated approach to warfare, Abrams tanks, along with well-armed, well-trained tank crews are a valuable asset to the United States Army as a fighting force.
