    Spc. Carloz Henningson, 3643rd Brigade Support Battalion, New Hampshire Army National Guard, looks through the scope of the TA31 Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, in Camp Ethan Allen, V.T. on August 12, 2023.

    “The ACOG gives you a lot of benefits,” said Staff Sgt. David Musso, 3643rd Brigade Support Battalion, New Hampshire Army National Guard. “You get better target identification and the range marks are built in.”

    Staff Sgt. Stephen Rondeau, 3643rd Brigade Support Battalion, New Hampshire Army National Guard explained that New Hampshire National Guard's M4 Carbines are often equipped with the M68 Close Combat Optic or the TA31 Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, which provides a 4x magnification in order to allow soldiers to engage enemy targets past 500 meters. In addition to optics, Rondeau explained that the M4 platform is capable of quickly mounting flashlights, lasers, grenade launchers, and other accessories in order to adapt the equipment to mission requirements.
