    U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Adam Koffron, an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technician with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, loads water into an M777 Howitzer to create hydraulic pressure for stuck dummy round removal on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 25, 2021. EOD technicians and artillery Marines conducted normal M777 Howitzer firing procedures, however, dummy rounds were intentionally lodged in the 16.7 ft. barrel of the weapon system so each unit could demonstrate their extraction techniques. Koffron is a native of Mount Vernon, Iowa. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Alex Fairchild)
