    A US Marine in desert MARPAT camouflage is instructing a soldier wearing woodland camouflage and a helmet on rifle handling technique. The interaction appears to be a training exercise, with the Marine guiding the other soldier's grip and stance on what appears to be a bolt-action or semi-automatic rifle. Additional personnel are visible in the background on what appears to be an arid, open training range.

    Cpl. John P. Maggard, a range coach from 3rd Battalion 25th Marine Regiment, inspects the chamber of a Gambian soldier to ensure it is safe to proceed to the next course of fire during a combat marksmanship range at Exercise Western Accord 2012. Basic combat marksmanship focuses on techniques and maneuvers effective in urban environments and close-quarters battle. Exercise Western Accord 2012 is a multi-lateral training exercise with West African nations to increase understanding and interoperability, prevent conflict by enabling Africans to provide for their security and stability, strengthen relationships with partner nations, and promote and support U.S. national security priorities. Participating nations include the U.S., Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Burkina Faso and France.
