Headline: U.S. Army Year In Photos 2018

Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: Some family members couldn't wait to welcome nearly 400 paratroopers from the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division home, June 2, 2018, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, after their return from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel. .... 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.
