Can someone tell me what mount is used in this picture to mount the soldier's aimpoint?

Looks like the standard railgrabber mount from Aimpoint.

Due to it's height, I was thinking it was a GG&G model:

GG&G std mount

but closer viewing leads me to believe that it's an aimpoint model:

it is the Aimpoint model. it is the one we are issued w/ the scope in the first place. we also get a kilflash and a goosneck mount for the unlucky guys that still have the M16A2.

Thanks for the response stinger! I assume you can co-witness the irons with that mount too?

Yes, the irons will cowitness mounted on a flat-top with the spacer installed. With a railgrabber mounted on a gooseneck mount you don't use the spacer, and the irons will still cowitness the Aimpoint dot.
