The Watervliet Arsenal received new million-dollar contracts this month to provide the U.S. Marine Corps 81 mm mortars and associated parts.

 

Pfc. Brady Barrett (right), an indirect fire infantryman assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, turns away from an M252 mortar system after hanging an 81mm mortar round during a multinational mortar live-fire exercise alongside Latvian partners, Feb. 17, at Adazi Military Base, Latvia. Soldiers from both armies took turns rehearsing and executing a live fire scenario by reacting to enemy contact using direct and indirect fire in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, a multinational demonstration of continued U.S. commitment to the collective security of North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.
