U.S. Marine Corps Master Sgt. Carlos Walker, an ordnance chief with Marine Light Helicopter Attack Squadron 775 (HMLA-775), loads a 2.75” high explosive rocket onto a UH-1Y Venom aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, March 8, 2023.

HMLA-775 flew sorties from MCAS Camp Pendleton to the San Clemente Island Range Complex in support of the Marine Forces Reserve Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) exercise held from February 26 to March 11. The exercise implemented concepts of Force Design 2030, a call to modernize the Marine Corps’ warfighting doctrine, via expeditionary advanced based operations such as a limited-footprint forward arming and refueling point and hot ordnance loading evolutions to reduce downtime between sorties and build joint fires proficiency.
