A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron takes off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 6, 2014, during RED FLAG-Alaska 15-1. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.

Here’s the latest issued Army 4x ACOG with “cross” reticle and secondary Docter close quarter optic on top, as issued. Soldiers are generally happy with the new “cross” reticle and see it as a worthy upgrade. The Docter CCO was not as popular, though. Blame it on the nature of the fight here in the mountains. One soldier told me that every engagment he’s had was close to the max effective range of his M4.
