Marine Rotational Force - Darwin

U.S. Marine infantrymen with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, run to cover as targets are called out during a squad assault drill April 28 at Kangaroo Flats Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia. Marines used the Australian range to conduct patrols and squad attack tactics to engage with mock targets. The drills help to strengthen unit cohesion and basic marksman skills during MRF-D, which is the deployment of U.S. Marines to Darwin and the Northern Territory, for approximately six months at a time, where they will conduct exercises and training on a rotational basis with the Australian Defence Forces.
