120517-Z-PP889-003 Pvt. Antonio Mendoza with California Army National Guard’s Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry (Light), collects brass after a fire fight with opposition forces during a field training exercise May 17 at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. One of the things troops do during exercises is pick up as many of the brass casings they shot. This helps keep the area clean and also helps in recycling the material.
