    A U.S. Marine Corps M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), assigned to Battery Tango, 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, is loaded onto a KC-130J Super Hercules during an Air Delivered Ground Refueling (ADGR) and a HIMARS Rapid Infiltration (HIRAIN) exercise at Antonio Bautista Air Base in support of Marine Aviation Support Activity (MASA) 23 events in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines, July 16, 2023. The HIRAIN exercise demonstrates I Marine Expeditionary Force’s (MEF) ability to rapidly deploy the HIMARS to meet and deter any threats; while the ADGR exercise ensures I MEF sustainability in remote areas to continue operations by exchanging fuel from one aircraft to another. MASA is a bilateral exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. Marine Corps, aimed at enhancing interoperability and coordination focused on aviation-related capabilities.
