Two U.S. Marine Corps M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems with Marine Rotational Force - Darwin fire 12 reduced range practice rockets during an emergency fire mission during Exercise Koolendong at Bradshaw Field Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 28, 2021. An emergency fire mission consists of HIMARS receiving a target location, convoying to a firing point, firing a payload and retrograding to a safe location. Exercises like Koolendong validate MRF-D’s and the Australian Defence Force’s ability to conduct expeditionary advanced base operations with combined innovative capabilities; through their shared commitment, both forces are postured to respond to a crisis or contingency in the Indo-Pacific region.
