Crew Serve Weapon Training
Staff Sgt. Jason Postl, Senior Gunner, assigned to 84th Training Command, coached Soldiers on how to properly aim with a Browning M2 .50-caliber Machine Gun at the live-fire exercise during the Red Dragon 24 training at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, on June 14, 2024. Soldiers practiced immediate action drills to address malfunctions, such as clearing jams and misfires, while maintaining readiness. Soldiers conducted firing drills to practice aiming, firing, and controlling the M2, which helped Soldiers understand the recoil and manage the weapon effectively under different conditions. Soldiers from 76th Operational Response Command brigades participated in Red Dragon 24 to improve their readiness, combat skills, and overall effectiveness in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) operations at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, June 12-26, 2024.
