Paratroopers assigned to 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment “White Devils,” 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division burn unused charges from an M252 81 mm mortar system at night during Devil Avalanche, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, July 29, 2025. Based on target distance, only one to four charges are used per round of ammunition which leaves unused charges that are highly flammable. The White Devils compiled and burned the charges in a safe area as part of their live-fire exercise which builds trust and cohesion, challenging Paratroopers to depend on each other’s skills and decision making under pressure while sharpening their readiness to deploy and respond anywhere in the world within 18 hours.
