    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Tyler Hughes with Combined Anti-Armor Team, Ground Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, fires a .50 caliber heavy machine gun during combined arms training at Mount Bundey Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 7, 2020. While CAAT Marines conducted a notional mounted assault, indirect fire support was provided by the 81mm mortar section and three M777 Howitzers. The training provided Marines a unique opportunity to develop new techniques and procedures to integrate direct and indirect fire. The ability to rapidly deploy fire support and employ indirect fire weapons provide the Marine Corps an advantage as an expeditionary forward force deployed to austere environments.
