ok, here are some pictures... The main purpose of this training excersie was for our battalion to allow the gun batterys to practice firing. They use 105mm Howitzers. Now our company is supply for the batterys so it was our job to establish an AHA ammo-holding-area and make daily deliveries of ammunition and pickup of the dunnage. The batterys shot off an estimated 8k rounds of 105mm HE and we also supplied thousands of rounds of small arms ammo including .50 cal, 7.62, 5.56, 9mm, and blanks of all sorts. We set-up our AHA on a hand grenade range that was available. It was a little unsettling walking and working where you'd throw fragmentation grenades, not to mention staging and storing, thousands of HE rounds on it, but we got used to it. lol.
