Headline: U.S. Army Year In Photos 2018

Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: Transfer cases, containing the remains of what are believed to be U.S. service members lost in the Korean War, line the bay of a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft during an honorable carry ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Aug. 1, 2018. The ceremony marked the arrival of 55 transfer cases recently repatriated from North Korea. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency will receive the remains to start the identification process. .... STORY COPY: This jaw-dropping gallery shows some of the highlights of the U.S. military's year in pictures. The American armed forces official 2018 Year In Photos showcases the wide range of training, equipment and locations where manoeuvres are carried out. Cover Images have selected the very best of the visuals. They include soldiers conducting 'fire phobia training' in Kosovo, by being engulfed in flame, trooped jumping out of an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III airplane over Alaska, and even the queasy sight of a southern black racer snake slithering across the rifle barrel held by a junior Army National Guard sniper as he practices woodland stalking in Florida.
