Sgt. 1st Class Carlos Riquelme, a platoon sergeant for the 296th Infantry Regiment of the Puerto Rico National Guard, ensures Soldiers of his regiment are in the right firing order prior to an M240 machine gun qualification exercise during their Annual Training 2015 at Fort Polk, La. The 296th will conduct their AT in coordination with the 256th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the Louisiana National Guard May 30 – June 13. According to Lt. Col. Hector Santiago, the 296th commander, one of the reasons for his unit to train in Fort Polk is to be able to use weaponry they cannot use in Puerto Rico due to temporary terrain constraints. Some of the weapons scheduled to be used are the .50-caliber Browning machine gun, M120 Mortar System and the BGM-71 Tube-launched Optically-tracked Wire-guided Missile (TOW) among others.
