IOWA NATIONAL GUARD TRAINING

Soldiers with Second Platoon, Alpha Battalion, 1-194 Field Artillery of Estherville, Iowa, warn other soldiers outside a building that they are exiting as soldiers clear a building in a simulated Afghan village during an Urban Ops 2 training exercise at annual training for the Iowa National Guard at Camp Ripley on Friday, June 18, 2010. The exercise uses Afghans and other Middle Eastern natives to portray Afghan village residents, including a village elder. Soldiers practiced interacting with village residents, dismounting vehicles tactically, evacuating a wounded soldier, and entering and clearing a building. (Jim Slosiarek/SourceMedia Group News)
