    Cpl. Travis D. Purcell loads an 81mm mortar into a mortar system in Chitose, Japan, Aug. 12, 2017 during Northern Viper 17. The Marines trained with services members from the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force and shared different techniques for firing the M252 81mm medium weight mortar system. Exercises such as Northern Viper improve the United States’ coordination and communication between its Pacific Allies.
