U.S. Army Master Sgt. Santos Feliciano, a native of Puerto Rico, instructs Armed Forces of Liberia soldiers on advanced marksmanship training certification during advanced marksmanship training at Edward Binyah Kesselly rifle range Feb. 22. The week-long course taught 44 soldiers from across the AFL’s 23rd Infantry Brigade. The main focus of the course was reflexive fire, which is handling a weapon while conducting movement.

Santos is a member of 2nd Battalion, 177th Training Regiment Regional Training Institute, Michigan Army National Guard where he is the chief instructor.
