    American paratroopers firing an RPG for the first time

    Spc. Kyle Archibeque, a native of Plano, Texas, assigned to 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, practices firing procedures for the Polish RPG-7B (rocket-propelled grenade) while Polish army Pfc. Jacek Lach, assigned to the 6th Airborne Battalion, 6th Airborne Brigade, prepares to assemble the grenade and load the launcher at Studnica Small Arms Range near Drawsko Pomorskie, Poland Aug. 5. U.S. paratroopers used their time at the Polish-hosted range becoming familiar with Polish small arms such as the M1996 Beryl rifle, the UKM-2000 machine gun and RPG-7B. The weapons training was part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, combined military-forces training designed to foster cohesive relationships between allies and demonstrate a commitment to NATO obligations.
