Mortarmen with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment fire a 60 mm mortar at Kaneohe Bay Range Training Facility, August 24, 2015. Marine Corps mortar teams locate targets by converting chart data to firing data, delivering mortar fire in timely response to the ground units they support. With a max range of 3,500 meters, the 60 mm mortar serves as a lightweight, portable artillery that provide constant and accurate high-angle suppressive fire on targets. The training was designed to help the Marines remain proficient with the weapon system. Training like this supports the mission of Marine Corps Base Hawaii by enhancing and sustaining combat readiness. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Brittney Vito/Released)
