A Marine fires the M777A2 howitzer in Japan
CAPM FUJI, Japan (April 25, 2021) - U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Mikale Bell, a field artillery cannoneer with 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division, emplaces an M777A2 Howitzer during Artillery Relocation Training Program 21.1 at Combined Arms Training Center, Camp Fuji, Japan, April 26, 2021. The training contributes to the defense of Japan and the U.S.-Japan Alliance as the cornerstone of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. ARTP provides realistic, live-fire training opportunities to the only permanently forward-deployed artillery unit in the Marine Corps, enabling them to provide precision indirect fires from a distributed environment in support of maritime operations.
