The California Army National Guard’s 1st Lt. Abraham

The California Army National Guard’s 1st Lt. Abraham Gonzales, commander, 69th Public Affairs Detachment, 115th Regional Support Group, ejects a bullet as he fires a 9-mm M17 pistol April 19 at Grizzly Bear Range, Auburn, California, during individual weapons qualification (IWQ). Joint Task Force 115th took a breather from its COVID-19 mission so Soldiers and Airmen can perform an annual military requirement, all part of mission readiness. Rifle and/or pistol shooting and familiarization is a regular Soldier tasking just like a fitness test or medical assessment. (Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
