Caption:

An UH-1N Huey helicopter banks away from an Afghan mountain where Taliban fighters are hidden as one of its crew chiefs opens fire with his M240G medium machinegun, pointing out the enemy for a follow-on strike by an AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopter.  The aircraft are assigned to Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 266 (Reinforced), the aviation combat element of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), and typically fly in what is called a 'skid duo.'
