U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Matthew Good, Deputy Commander, Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic, Marine Forces Command, Marine Forces Northern Command, meets with Sgt. Ronald Merritt, a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) operator with Fox Battery, 2nd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve during exercise Arctic Edge 2024, at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Feb. 22, 2024. Merritt guided Good through an overview of the HIMARS and showcased its capabilities. The HIMARS weapon system is a valuable asset in arctic conditions due to its exceptional mobility, which allows for rapid deployment and maneuverability across challenging terrain, coupled with its precision strike capabilities, enabling effective engagement of targets. Arctic Edge 2024 (AE24) is a U.S. Northern Command-led homeland defense exercise demonstrating the U.S. military’s capabilities in extreme cold weather, joint force readiness, and U.S. military commitment to mutual strategic security interests in the arctic region.
