Mehitabelle Aiona, all mortuary affairs specialists with the 962nd Quartermaster (Mortuary Affairs) Co., 9th Mission Support Command, prior to a grand opening ceremony for the U.S. Army Reserve's new state-of-the-art Modular Small Arms Range in Pago Pago, American Samoa, April 26, 2019. The MSAR is the very first U.S. Army Reserve indoor weapons range, which allows both 5.56 mm and 9 mm rounds to be fired indoors with no chance of a round escaping regardless of the direction it is fired. It is environmentally safe preventing fumes or residue from escaping while simultaneously filtering the interior air providing a safe environment for the Soldiers inside using the range.
