Spc. Vincent Ventarola, assigned to Field Artillery Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, fires an M777A2 howitzer during Dynamic Front II, conducted March 6-9 in the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany. The exercise enabled the U.S., Germany and Czech Republic to synchronize their artillery capabilities. Novel approaches to acquisition will make the software supporting artillery command and control easier to use, upgrade and sustain. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
