    A military wheeled vehicle, consistent with an M270 or HIMARS-type rocket artillery system, is being offloaded from a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft bearing tail number 63301 and US Coast Guard-style orange and white livery. The operation is taking place on a snow-covered airstrip in what appears to be a cold, arctic or subarctic environment. At least two personnel in cold-weather gear are visible overseeing the offload operation.

    U.S. Marines with 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, load a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) onto a U.S. Air Force LC-130H assigned to the 109th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard during U.S. Northern Command’s Exercise Arctic Edge. Arctic Edge 2020 is a North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command exercise scheduled every two years. The exercise focuses on training, experimentation, techniques, tactics, and procedures development for Homeland Defense operations in an Arctic environment. Arctic Edge 20 provides opportunities to validate Arctic capabilities. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Amy Picard)
