Soldiers from the Chillicothe-based 1194th Engineer
Summary
Soldiers from the Chillicothe-based 1194th Engineer Company take aim at a target, April 20, at the Camp Perry Joint Training Center near Port Clinton, Ohio. Weapon’s qualification is an annual event for all soldiers. For a soldier to qualify on their assigned weapon, they have to hit at least 23 targets out of 40 within a certain amount of time and 40 allowed shots. The targets are of a varying distance, from 50 meters to 300 meters. The soldiers must shoot 20 shots from a supported position, 10 shots from an unsupported position, and 10 shots kneeling. During weapons qualification, everyone, no matter what their job title, gets a chance to fire and qualify with their assigned weapons. This allows a soldier to stay familiar with their weapon if they are ever called into wartime service. (Ohio National Guard photo by Spc. Brian Johnson, 1194th Eng. Company)
