Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Norfolk-based 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team conduct waterborne artillery live fire exercises during Operation GATOR April 24-25, 2019, at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Aboard mechanized landing craft operated by active duty Soldiers from the Joint Base Langley-Eustis-based 11th Transportation Battalion, 7th Transportation Brigade, the Thunder Soldiers received and carried out their fire missions from the Intracoastal Waterway running through Camp Lejeune along the Atlantic Ocean. It was the first waterborne artillery mission for the 111th since D-Day during World War II, nearly 75 years ago. (U.S. National Guard photo by Mike Vrabel)
