Photo of the day: Remote outpost in Kunar, Afghanistan

Taken on top of a remote outpost in Kunar, Afghanistan just after a firefight where insurgents attacked our larger COP with recoilless rifles and small arms. My platoon and I returned fire with machine gun fire and Gustav’s as well as provided FSO duties to walk our 120mm Howitzers on target.
