CAMP BULLIS, Texas –

Soldiers from U.S. Army South’s Operations Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion at Fort Sam Houston, conducted a multi-purpose machine gun range at Camp Bullis Aug. 25 to get familiarized with the M249 light machine gun and its capabilities.

Approximately 17 Soldiers participated in the familiarization fire, which was part of a three-phase operation that included a period of primary marksmanship instruction, a dry-run through the engagement skills trainer and the firing of the M249s.
