    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Miah Hierwarter, left, and Lance Cpl. Ariadne Mendezhilerio fire an M2A1 machine gun on a crew-served weapons range in support of Artillery Relocation Training Program 25.1 at Yausubetsu Maneuver Area, Hokkaido, Japan, June 17, 2025. ARTP, established by the 1997 Special Action Committee in Okinawa, relocates live-fire artillery training from Okinawa to mainland Japan to maintain readiness and stabilize U.S. Forces’ basing, enhancing regional security across Japan and the Indo-Pacific. This training boosts the capabilities and readiness of the Marine Corps’ only permanently forward-deployed artillery unit, enabling accurate indirect fire support. Hierwarter, a native of Virginia, is a fire direction control Marine and Mendezhilerio, a native of Arizona, is a motor transport vehicle operator with 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division.
