U.S. Marines with High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems platoon, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin rapidly depart a coordinated launch area after firing a HIMARS rocket during Exercise Loobye at Bradshaw Field Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 12, 2021. HIMARS were loaded onto a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft at RAAF Darwin and flown to BFTA as part of a HIMARS rapid infiltration demonstration during a bilateral exercise with MRF-D and the Australian Defence Force. Exercises like Loobye demonstrate MRF-D’s ability to conduct operations as a joint force with the ADF, execute expeditionary operations, like HIRAIN, and exemplify their mutual dedication to being postured and ready to respond to a crisis or contingency in the Indo-Pacific region.
