Ghost Troop Soldier Loads, Fires M249 February 13, 2025 February 12, 2025 - A U.S. Army soldier assigned to Ghost Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment loads rounds into his M249 machine gun then fires it during a squad live-fire exercise at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Bavaria, Germany. Designed to increase squad lethality, the exercise provided Soldiers with realistic training on conducting an ambush, a surprise attack from a concealed position on a moving or temporarily halted enemy. The ambush attack is initiated with an M18A1 Claymore directional anti-personnel mine and tests an infantry squad’s ability to maneuver as a cohesive element.
