    U.S. Marines forward deployed with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division as part of the Unit Deployment Program, fire an M2A1 machine gun while conducting short-bay live fire during Artillery Relocation Training Program 25.4, at Ojojihara Maneuver Area, Miyagi, Japan, Feb. 5, 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.
