An Iraqi recruit shoots an AK-47 rifle at the Iraqi Army Basic Training Academy at Taji, Iraq on Nov. 2. Iraqi recruits learned crucial, basic combat skills as part of an expanded program at the academy. This is the second group of Soldiers to go through a new, extended cycle of basic training. Iraqi sergeants do the bulk of the teaching. "We're at a phase now where we mainly just advise the Iraqi instructors," said Sgt. 1st Class Naymon Mack, from Roanoke, Va., an advisor at the academy, who serves in the 80th Division, U.S. Army Reserves.
