A U.S. Army M240 machine gun team assigned to the 18th Corps Finance Battalion, 3rd Corps Sustainment Command, engages targets during a day and night defensive live-fire exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, May 6, 2026. The assistant gunner plays a vital role in the weapon's effectiveness by spotting target impacts, calling out fire adjustments, and ensuring a continuous feed of ammunition so the gunner can maintain focus downrange. This synchronized crew-served weapons training, combined with detailed sector sketches, allows finance and sustainment Soldiers to master suppressive fire and lethal accuracy, ensuring they are fully prepared to defend high-value command posts and supply nodes in contested environments.
