Apache Troop mortarmen fire the first round of the day for their mortar live fire exercise at Combat Outpost Khilaguy on Nov. 9, 2013. To properly emplace their system, two soldiers must stand on the baseplate to help it set firmly in the ground. A keen eye can see Pfc. Kyle Wilkinson and Pfc. Richard Setzer are suspended mid-air as the 120mm mortar has slammed the baseplate into the ground, but gravity has not caught up yet. Apache Troop, 6th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, constantly trains their fire support assets to improve their capabilities while deployed to Regional Command - North, Afghanistan. 6-4 CAV has been deployed since May 2013 and is stationed at Fort Knox, Ky.
