A U.S. Army Soldier assigned to the 18th Corps Finance Battalion, 3rd Corps Sustainment Command, fires an M249 light machine gun downrange from a defensive fighting position during a day and night defensive live-fire exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, May 6, 2026. The M249 provides critical suppressive firepower, which Soldiers integrated with detailed sector sketches to establish overlapping fields of fire and secure the perimeter. This rigorous live-fire training ensures sustainment and finance personnel maintain a warfighter mindset, mastering the rates of fire and accuracy necessary to successfully defend high-value command posts and supply nodes in contested environments.
