Camp Atterbury, Ind. – Two A-10 Thunderbolt II’s fly low to the ground after being called in for a fire-support mission by joint terminal attack control Marines on the ground, March 15, 2014, at a firing range on Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Center. The A-10s were on station to assist the Marines in live combined-arms training in addition to supporting their own training requirements. The Marine Corps worked alongside the Ind. Air National Guard to make this training possible, allowing both parties to see the true effects of their missions. The A-10s are with the 163rd Fighter Squadron, 122nd Fighter Wing located at Fort Wayne Air National Guard Station, Ind. The Marines are with 2nd Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division.
