POTD: M4A1 Carbine With SIG Sauer Riflescope
Photo Of The Day and we see security forces airmen from the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Contingency Response Group, as they took part in a simulated attack at Amedee Army Airfield in California on August 24, 2024.
The exercise was part of a U.S. Transportation Command training event to revalidate the group’s ability to lead a Joint Task Force-Port Opening (JTF-PO) mission. JTF-PO is a joint operation focused on safely and efficiently delivering cargo and supplies to remote areas impacted by disasters or conflicts. Contingency response units are required to undergo recertification for this mission every three years.

Another carbine with the traditional Trijicon optic.
Fast and light versus heavy and armored vehicles. Perhaps the yellow smoke is to simulate mustard gas?
