U.S. Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, and Australian soldiers inspect the straps hooked to an M777A2 lightweight 155 mm howitzer for Operation Thunder Hammer June 28 during Exercise Koolendong at Bradshaw Field Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia. Operation Thunder Hammer was an external lift where the Australian M777A2 lightweight 155 mm howitzer was lifted by a U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter. The rotational deployment of Marines in Darwin enables them to more effectively train, exercise, and operate with partners, enhances regional security and builds capacity to respond more rapidly to natural disasters and crises throughout that region.
