U.S. Army Reserve Spc. Stephen Justin adjusts an AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sight while Staff Sgt. Jeff Harley looks on. Both Soldiers are petroleum supply specialists with the 842nd Quartermaster Company, preparing to send the first rounds downrange with an M2 machine gun for weapons qualification during Operation Cold Steel II, hosted by the 79th Theater Sustainment Command at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., Oct. 15, 2017. Operation Cold Steel is the U.S. Army Reserve’s crew-served weapons qualification and validation exercise to ensure that America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short-notice and bring combat-ready and lethal firepower in support of the Army and our joint partners anywhere in the world.
