U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Jarrod Romine, left, a forward observer, peers through an AN/PAS-22, a hand-held thermal imaging sight, while selecting targets prior to taking part in a live fire exercise as Pfc. Leif Anderson looks on, Fort Hunter Ligget, Calif., March 29, 2009. The sight and the infrared zoom laser illuminator designator, with the long-range infrared pointer affixed to the top of it, provide an integrated targeting system with which can mark targets for close air support missions. The Marines are assigned to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s fire control team.
