- For members of the US military, "Train like you fight" isn't just a saying - it's the way they steel themselves to peform tough tasks under fire.
- Troops don't get to choose when to fight, so they have to be prepared to operate at any time and in any location.
- Although nighttime operations and exercises are riskier, they are imperative for troops, especially those in special operations or who serve in combat zones.
- These photos show just a glimpse of the types of operations the US military trains for at night.
