    A U.S. Marine Corps High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, with 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, prepares to launch a M28A1, reduced range practice rocket, in support of exercise Valiant Shield 2022 on Angaur, Palau, June 8, 2022. This is the first time the Marine Corps employed a HIMARS on the Island of Angaur. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rapid infiltration, or HI-RAIN, was possible due to improvements made to the Angaur Airstrip during Task Force Koa Moana in 2020. Exercise such as Valiant Shield allows the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    Three military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are operating communications and computing equipment in a jungle or forested field environment. They appear to be conducting a field communications exercise, with one soldier operating a ruggedized laptop while another manages radio equipment. The setting suggests a forward operating position or field training exercise.
    A military rocket artillery vehicle, consistent with an M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) or similar MLRS platform, is positioned on a gravel clearing surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. A uniformed soldier wearing a helmet and tactical vest stands to the left of the vehicle. An orange hazardous materials placard is visible on the side of the launcher pod.
    The image shows U.S. Marines operating what appears to be an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) or similar M270 MLRS launcher vehicle on a gravel surface near a treeline. Two personnel in military camouflage uniforms are visible outside the vehicle on the left side, while at least one crew member is visible inside the cab. The vehicle displays hazard placards indicating the presence of explosives (Class 1.3C).
    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are working with medical or field equipment in an open grassy area. They appear to be setting up or operating a device labeled 'MOVES' along with associated tubing and accessories. The setting appears to be a field training exercise in a subtropical or coastal environment.

    A rocket or missile has been launched from a ground-based launcher system positioned on a flat, grassy terrain. A thick white smoke trail extends diagonally from the launch point at the left to the projectile visible in the upper right of the frame. The setting appears to be an open firing range with low vegetation and a partly cloudy sky.
