    Marine Rotational Force - Darwin

    U.S. Marines Lance Cpl. Matthew Waite and Lance Cpl. Patrick Larcoche with Ground Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, finish firing a round from an 81mm mortar during a direct lay firing drill at Mount Bundey Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 6, 2020. The training provides Marines a unique opportunity to develop new techniques and procedures to integrate direct and indirect fire. The ability to rapidly deploy fire support and employ indirect fire weapons provide the Marine corps an advantage as an expeditionary forward force deployed to austere environments.
