Marine Corps Sgt. Jeffery Hale, a launcher chief with Kilo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, directs a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) into position before being loaded onto an Air Force MC-130, on Fort Campbell, Ky., March 30, 2018. Marines from Kilo Battery flew from Fort Campbell to Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah, where they offloaded and fired four HIMARS missiles, demonstrating a unique capability that will give commanders more options to deal with threats when other options are not appropriate.
