A Naval Strike Missile streaks out to sea before striking a naval target ship during a sinking exercise (SINKEX), Aug. 15, 2021, at Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, Hawaii. The missile flew more than 100 nautical miles before finding its mark. The live-fire SINKEX, conducted during Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2021, demonstrated a Marine fires expeditionary advanced base’s ability to sense, target and strike a target at sea, providing sea control or contributing to sea denial in fleet operations. The Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 centers on Marines providing long-range precision strike capabilities as a stand-in force during littoral operations in a contested environment. U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units came together from across 17 time zones as they participated in LSE 2021. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Juan Carpanzano, released)
