Headline: U.S. Army Year In Photos 2018

Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: The remaining teams of Ranger-qualified Soldiers take part in several events to test physical endurance, mental agility, and technical and tactical skills for the 2018 Best Ranger Competition, at Fort Benning, Ga., April 14, 2018. The David E. Grange Jr. Best Ranger Competition is an annual event in its 35th iteration to determine the top-performing two-person Ranger team from units across the Army as well as sister services. .... 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.
