U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. John Deatherage assembles an M2A1 .50-caliber machine gun during Artillery Relocation Training Program 24.4 at Hijudai Maneuver Area, Japan, Feb. 21, 2025. ARTP is an annual training exercise held to strengthen the defense of Japan and the U.S. Japan Alliances as the cornerstone of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. The skills developed at ARTP increase the proficiency and readiness of the only permanently forward-deployed artillery unit in the Marine Corps, enabling them to provide indirect fires.
