U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Mitchell Espinosa, a battery commander with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, 3rd Marine Division stands with the leaders from the Japan Ministry of Defense and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force during a live-fire demonstration during Artillery Relocation Training Program 25.2 at the Combined Arms Training Center, Camp Fuji, Japan, Sep. 14, 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. Espinosa is a native of New Mexico.
