I'm Private First Class Troy Saunders with your Marine Minute
This fiscal year Marines will receive smart phones that make calling for fire support easier, quicker and more accurate. The Target Handoff System Version 2 is a portable system designed for use by dismounted Marines to
locate targets, pinpoint global positioning coordinates and call for close air, artillery and naval fire support using secure digital communications. The system is an upgrade to the Corps' current Target Handoff System.
Also in the Marine Corps
US Marine F-35B's are scheduled to deploy onboard the British Royal Navy's new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier when it undertakes its first operational tour. The intent of deploying the F-35B's is to provide a credible strike force in the fight against enemy forces in the future.
Over on the West Coast
Former Marine Staff Sgt. Jonathan Hancock finished his 15 month long, 5-thousand 800-mile walk from Maryland to California to honor his fallen brothers from 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines. Hancock visited gold star families and veterans along the way.
