    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Anthony Ziegler, a field artillery cannoneer with 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division, loads an M777A2 Howitzer during Artillery Relocation Training Program 21.2 at Ojojihara Maneuver Area, Japan, July 20, 2021. This training contributes to the defense of Japan and the U.S.-Japan Alliance as the cornerstone of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. ARTP provides realistic, live-fire training opportunities to the only permanently forward-deployed artillery unit in the Marine Corps, enabling them to provide precision indirect fires from a distributed environment in support of maritime operations. Ziegler is a native of Martinez, California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Diana Jimenez)
