    Lance Cpl. Nicholas A. Carillo, a gunner with 3rd Platoon, Tango Battery, 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, inputs data into the control panel of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System during a dry-fire drill here, Feb. 26. The panel programs each GPS-guided rocket to fly to the correct grid coordinate. Each three-man launcher team drills every day to increase response time to support requests. The HIMARS allows the Marines to support fire missions within minutes and deliver precision fire within one meter of the target location.
