    The image depicts a multinational military training exercise with soldiers from at least two different nations conducting weapons drills in an outdoor environment. Personnel in US Marine Corps desert MARPAT uniforms are working alongside soldiers in green camouflage uniforms and steel pot helmets. The soldiers are practicing firing stances and movement techniques with various rifles.

    To build proficiency for firing on the move, Marines and Gambian soldiers move from the 25-yard firing line to the 15-yard firing line during a combat marksmanship range for 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.
