U.S. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, 3rd Marine Division, conduct a mock patrol during Artillery Relocation Training Program 25.2 at the Combined Arms Training Center, Camp Fuji, Japan, Sep. 17, 2025. ARTP, established by the 1997 Special Action Committee in Okinawa, relocates live-fire artillery training from Okinawa to mainland Japan to maintain combat 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. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Pfc.
