    Sgt. First Class Tim Tramel, of Climax, Mich., instructs armed forces of Liberia soldiers on qualification during advanced marksmanship training at Edward Binyah Kesselly rifle range Feb. 22. The week-long course taught 44 soldiers from across the AFL’s 23rd Infantry Brigade. The main focus of the course was reflexive fire, which is handling a weapon while conducting movement. Other skills taught included close quarter combat tactics, room clearing techniques and advanced marksmanship qualifying procedures. The Michigan National Guard conducts periodic specialized training to AFL units through its state partnership program. The day to day mentorship of the AFL is performed by Operation Onward Liberty, a group of approximately 50 U.S. military personnel who mentor and advise the AFL in order to develop a national military that is responsible, operationally capable, respectful of civilian authority and the rule of law, and is a force for good among the Liberian people. Tramel is a member of 177th Regiment Regional Training Institute, Michigan Army National Guard.
