U.S. Soldiers assigned to Ghost Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment execute a squad live-fire at Grafenwöhr Training Area, Grafenwöhr, Germany, Feb. 12, 2025. The squad live fire provided Soldiers with realistic training on conducting an ambush and increased squad lethality. An ambush is a surprise attack from a concealed position on a moving or temporarily halted enemy. The ambush is initiated with an M18A1 claymore and tests an infantry squad’s ability to maneuver as a cohesive element.
