POTD: FN Minimi In The Trenches

Photo Of The Day and we see the standard light machine gun of the Royal Netherlands Army working in the trenches in Lithuania. Since 1994, the Glock 17 has served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Netherlands Armed Forces. Currently, they are equipped with the Glock 17 Gen4 model, which you can see in the holster.

Here’s NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Lithuania’s caption from the exercise:

“Training as close as possible to reality is very important to soldiers. The Dutch comrades of our   #MNBGLTU trained inside the trenches. After a drone attack the medical chain for the injured soldiers was quickly started. After that, helicopter support by the @ Lietuvos Karinės oro pajėgos / LTU Air Force came in time to bring the wounded to the next medical support level.”

Below: Ace of Spades for you, sorry. Is not something you’d like your medic to say.
