I'm Private First Class Troy Saunders with your Marine Minute.
For the first time on base, Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina received a demonstration on a new type of artillery used in modern warfare. The High-Mobility-Artillery-Rocket-System was launched February 16th, in order to give Marines an up-close look at the type of firepower and artillery used in battle.
(Also in the Corps)
A Marine attending Marine Corps University at Marine Corps Base Quantico, recently developed a prototype 3-D printed water bottle. Based off of his experience while deployed in Afghanistan, Captain Justin Carrasco’s prototype will hopefully minimize the logistical footprint of packaged water bottles being transported in military convoys.
(Also in the news)
Marines are currently working with the Army to develop unmanned-aerial-vehicles in order to safely resupply-missions faster. The Joint-Tactical-Aerial-Resupply-Vehicle-Program is working with industry partners and vendors to provide prototypes, capable carrying up to 800 pounds, for evaluation later this year.
