Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured: A soldier from the Long Range Reconnaissance Group (LRRG) deployed to Mali as part of the United Nations Peacekeeping mission, Operation Newcombe is zeroing in a Sharpshooter (L129A1) Rifle. A spotter next to the shooter is using a high-powered spotting scope to help he zero in the weapon. The Sharpshooter rifle has improved the long-range firepower available on the front line. The rifle fires a 7.62mm round and has enhanced accuracy of engagement during longer-range firefights. This weapon is used by some of the best shots in the infantry. MINUSMA is the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation mission in Mali. Established in 2013, the mission was asked to support the transitional authorities of Mali in the stabilisation of the country. Op Newcombe is the UK commitment to that mission.
