U.S. Army Spc. William Marsh, a native of Kansas City, Mo., who serves as a mortarman, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, inspects a mortar illumination shell before firing it from a M224 60mm mortar on Forward Operating Base Torkham, Sept. 27, 2013. The soldiers were conducting live fire training to ensure that their skills remain sharp. As part of their training they fired both illumination and high explosive shells. Their target was an deserted mountainside outside their base. The soldiers had to wait while a local shepherd and his flock of sheep, who wandered into the target area, before the training began.
