A Ukrainian soldier with the 1st Airmobile Battalion, 79th Air Assault Brigade practices firing his weapon with a coin placed on his rifle's barrel while training at the Yavoriv Combat Training Center on the International Peacekeeping and Security Center, near Yavoriv, Ukraine, on April 29.
Called a dime drill by U.S. troops, soldiers will practice squeezing their trigger until the weapon fires - without the weapon being loaded - until they are able to do so without the coin falling. This drill teaches soldiers how to fire without jerking the trigger, which would cause the round to miss its target. (Photo by Sgt. Anthony Jones, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team)
