U.S. Army Sgt. John Keller, a native of Moorhead, Minn., who serves as a mortarman Company C, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, sets up his M224 60mm mortar on Forward Operating Base Torkham, Sept. 27, 2013. Keller and his fellow soldiers were conducting live fire training to ensure that their skills remain sharp. Their target was a deserted mountainside outside their base. Before each mortar shell was fired, the soldiers scanned the area to make sure that no living creature was nearby. The soldiers had to wait while a local shepherd and his flock of sheep, who wandered into the target area, before the training began. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
