At the Orchard Training Area (OTA, aka Orchard Combat Training Center-OCTC) the Idaho Army National Guard is preparing for the 116th Calvary Brigade Combat Team’s upcoming rotation at the National Training Center (Fort Irwin), California, later this year.

Photo via Idaho Army National Guard. I’ve seen a lot of model dioramas with polished metal cases for the 120mm rounds, that is wrong, the case is a clear combustible plastic, the light grey color is the charge inside.
“Gunner! Sabot, tank!”
“Identified!”
“Fire!”
“On the way!”

A lot of ‘Metal Case Bases’ (we call them AFCAPs). Anybody experience an AFCAP separation from the case while trying to load it? I have, it sucks, there goes your whole gunnery run!
