As part of The Telegraph's series of videos looking at life for the British Army in Afghanistan, we hear from a sniper whose daily challenge is to kill before he is killed.
Telegraph photojournalist Heathcliff O'Malley spent two weeks embedded with British troops in Helmand, Afghanistan.
In this exclusive series, he shows what life is really like on the ground for the 10,000 soldiers serving in the country.
Hear from one of the chefs (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/7430239/Inside-Afghanistan-feeding-the-ten-thousand.html) responsible for keeping the troops well fed, the soldiers returning from battle pumped with adrenaline (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/7429751/Inside-Afghanistan-British-soldiers-return-from-firefight-with-Taliban.html), the young officer (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/7429561/Afghanistan-on-patrol.html) preparing to take his platoon out on patrol for one of the last times before a new regiment takes over, the veteran who has lost comrades (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/7429730/Inside-Afghanistan-no-ones-life-is-worth-losing-out-here.html) and the apprehensive new arrivals (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/7429634/Inside-Afghanistan-British-soldiers-describe-first-days-in-Helmand.html).
