U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Michael Montalvo, a cannoneer with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, loads a 155mm M777 Howitzer high-explosive round during Artillery Relocation Training Program 26.1 at the Combined Arms Training Center, Camp Fuji, Japan, May 22, 2026. 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 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. Montalvo is a native of Louisiana.
