U.S. SOLDIERS SWAP WEAPONS DURING A DEMONSTRATION FOR THE MEDIA BEING TRAINED IN NEW JERSEY, 2003-01-22...

U.S. soldiers exchange an AK-74 firearm with a Soviet-era rocket launcher during a demonstration of what their foes use in the field of battle, during a live firing demonstration for members of the press at Fort Dix army base in central New Jersey at sunset, January 22, 2003. For the first time, the Department of Defense is training groups of selected foreign and domestic journalists on awareness of how the military services operate in the field, practicing first aid and self-defense from chemical/biological weapon attack, as a massive buildup of allied forces continues in the Gulf, with plans to embed the trained journalists with troops.
