CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA, Japan— A Marine fires his M16A4 service rifle during the United States Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition-Far East Dec. 11 aboard Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan. The competitors ran through six separate, timed courses of fire that tested not only their aim, but also their decision making skills. The courses included obstacles, short and medium ranged targets, unknown distances, fault lines, and targets deemed no-fire targets which resulted in added time.
