    Marine Rotational Force - Darwin

    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Daniel Lewis, a field artillery cannoneer with Ground Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force - Darwin, conducts live-fire training at Mount Bundey Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia, Aug. 7, 2020. Lewis is a Ferndale, Wash. native.

    “Getting out here and training with my Marines, is what we all look forward to out here. Speed, and being cohesive is what artillery is all about. When we need to send rounds down range and in a hurry, we know we’ve had that proper training to make it happen.”

    The Marines practiced direct and indirect fire missions to maintain their readiness to respond to any crisis or contingency as an expeditionary force in the Indo-Pacific region. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Sarah Marshall)
