Oregon’s 3-116th Combined Arms Battalion (one of three CABs belonging to Idaho based 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team [CBCT], aka Snake River Brigade) is taking part in this year’s African Lion 2023.

Bore-sighting the M1A2 SEP, in Tan-Tan, Morocco. Oregon National Guard video by Staff Sergeant Ariel J. Solomon, 08JUN2023:

African Lion took place in Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia from 13MAY-18JUN2023. African Lion is the largest wargame on the African continent, involving the United States and other NATO members, as well as Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia.

Bore-sighting aligns the Gunner’s sights with the end of the main gun tube, greatly increasing the chance of a ‘first-round-hit’.
