About all that cannon practice we’ve been hearing every Tuesday. Here’s some great photos from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard):

“Soldiers of the Presidential Salute Battery, 1st Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) conducted blank fire crew drills as part of their routine training on Joint Base Myer – Henderson Hall.

The platoon demonstrated their capabilities to Maj. Gen. Omar J. Jones IV, commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters – National Capital Region and the US Army Military District of Washington and his command team. U.S. Army photos by Sgt. Gabriel Silva”
