Explaining the finer points of shooting to the American visitors.

In May 1975 one hundred and eighty-seven officers and enlisted men of C Company Combat Team 12th US Infantry Regiment were hosted for an exchange visit by the School of Infantry. However, they were looked after by 1 R IRISH (the Demonstration Battalion) for most of their visit. The visitors were afforded traditional Irish hospitality by all and various competitions were organized as the Americans grew more expert in handling their hosts' weapons, vehicles and equipment.
