    U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Jacob Fairbanks, the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems platoon commander with HIMARS platoon, Marine Rotational Force - Darwin, checks GPS coordinates of a rocket preparing for launch in an emergency fire mission during Exercise Koolendong at Bradshaw Field Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 29, 2021. An emergency fire mission consists of HIMARS receiving a target location, convoying to a firing point, firing a payload and retrograding to a safe location. Exercises like Koolendong validate MRF-D’s and the Australian Defence Force’s ability to conduct expeditionary advanced base operations with combined innovative capabilities; through their shared commitment, both forces are postured to respond to a crisis or contingency in the Indo-Pacific region.
