    Second Lt. Jason Mitchell, from Battle Creek, Mich., and Sgt. Sanuelu Tauave, from Manua, American Samoa, both of Bravo Battery, 17th Fires Brigade, load rockets for transport to the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. Rockets from the HIMARS burn fuel until they reach their apogee, then fall on their target using fins to guide their descent.
