Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: A paratrooper walks to the rally point after completing an airborne training jump at Malemute drop zone, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Jan. 9, 2018. The Soldiers of 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, belong to the only American airborne brigade in the Pacific and are trained to execute airborne maneuvers in extreme cold weather and high altitude environments in support of combat, training and disaster relief operations. .... 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.
