Maj. Christopher Kuhn (left), battalion military transition team chief for the 3rd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division Military Transition Team who hails from Middletown, Pa., shows an Iraqi officer with the 3rd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division how to teach his fellow officers to use targets to help them zero or "site in" their M-4 rifles on a range at Camp Taji, Iraq May 27. The Iraqi army is currently replacing its old Soviet-made AK-47 rifles with M-16 and M-4 rifles. The M-4s and M-16 A4s which are considered easier to shoot than the AK-47, are also easier to find replacement parts for than the old Soviet-made rifles, said Martin Anderson, a senior range trainer during the training.
