Weapon Assignment, Afghanistan

Second Lt. Ayamuddin, an Afghan national army trainer, reads off the serial number of the rifle being assigned to him. Ayamuddin and other trainers from the ANA's 205th Corps are qualifying on the M-16 to help train the rest of the 205th's soldiers. The M-16 will eventually replace older, Russian assault rifles as part of a modernization effort for the Afghan army. (U.S. Navy Photo/Petty Officer 1st Class David M. Votroubek)
