    An AV-8B Harrier training aircraft with Marine Attack Training Squadron 203 takes off in a near-vertical ascent at Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue, March 19. The Harrier was designed specifically for a ground-attack role. The vertical and short take-off/landing ability enables the Harrier to work from forward operating bases close to the fight and cuts down the time it takes to arrive and strike a target.
