Iraqi soldiers with the 72nd Brigade, 15th Division, move laterally while simultaneously firing on targets, as paratroopers with the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division watch and give advice during a close-quarters marksmanship range at Camp Taji, Iraq, April 6, 2015. The nine Iraqi soldiers who participated in the range were chosen to become members of a personal security detail that provides protection to Iraqi officers. The U.S. Army advisers are part of the Combined Joint Task Force to degrade and ultimately defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by building the military capacity of Iraqi Security Forces, an effort that has produced more than 6,000 newly-trained Soldiers, with another 5,000 currently in training (Sgt. Cody Quinn, CJTF-OIR Public Affairs)
