A rifleman with Company B, 1st Battalion, 182nd Infantry Regiment, lays down suppressive fire to cover the movements of his fire team during individual movement techniques course during an eXportable Combat Training Capability exercise at Camp Edwards, June 11, 2010

Here is a photo I took while on Annual Training with the 65th Press Camp Headquarters.

I was able to catch the muzzle flash while the soldier was running through a training lane with his unit.

The shot was one of 20 on continuous shutter to capture the the split second timing required to record the flash.
