The pilots, aircrew and the soldiers planned and conducted an external lift of the howitzer and familiarized both units with each other’s training procedures to enhance interoperability. The MRF-D six-month deployment demonstrates how the Marine Air-Ground Task Force is equipped and organized to carry out national objectives in cooperation with our international partners.
