Exercise Koolendong, Operation Mongoose: Anti-Armor versus AH-1 Super Cobras
Summary
U.S. Marines with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, hide their High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles in the brush as a AH-1 Super Cobra seeks to destroy them during Operation Mongoose, a simulated scenario, July 3 as part of Exercise Koolendong at Bradshaw Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia. Koolendong is a bilateral combined arms training exercise that combined light infantry, indirect fire weapons systems and air assets during training events. The rotational deployment of U.S. Marines in Darwin enables them to more effectively train, exercise, and operate with partners, enhances regional security and builds capacity to respond more rapidly to natural disasters and crises throughout that region.
