SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras — Thousands of 5.56mm rounds lay on a table Oct. 28 at the base firing range during the M-249 light machine gun familiarization portion of a three-day exercise. Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 228th  Aviation Regiment recently turned their focus from helicopter operations to some basic Soldier field training from Oct. 25 to 29. Some of the things taught during the training were: practicing recall procedures, setting up tents, radio communications, convoy operations, combat medicine, vehicle staging, wrecker operations, M-249 light machine gun familiarization and firing the M-249 at the range (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
