    U.S. Army Sgt. Caleb Ash, senior sniper and team leader for the Kansas National Guard’s Headquarters Company, 2nd Combined Arms Battalion 137th Infantry Regiment, 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team, prepares his weapon prior to taking part in an aerial sniper training exercise at Camp Buehring, Kuwait on Jan. 29, 2019. The training familiarizes snipers with the effects of bullet drop when firing from different altitudes. The Soldiers fired at targets while their aerial platform moved through the air at various speeds. As flight crews from the Kansas National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 108th Assault Helicopter Battalion, provided lift capability for the training, sniper teams used verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to make on-the-spot firing adjustments.
