1st Lt. Tyler Phernetton, a transportation officer assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 641st Troop Command, inserts a clearing rod into a Soldier's M4 carbine following individual weapons qualification at Fort McCoy, Wis., July 14, 2026. Before Soldiers leave the firing line, a clearing rod is inserted through the bore of each M4 carbine to provide visual and physical confirmation that the weapon is clear and safe. This standard safety procedure ensures no ammunition remains in the chamber after training.. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Staff Sgt. Alex Soliday)
