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.

U.S. Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 473, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, transport simulated casualties during the mobile operations course at Range 205 during Integrated Training Exercise (ITX) 4-22 at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., July 30, 2022. The mobile operations course challenges supporting elements of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force to respond to contact while delivering logistical supplies to other elements of the MAGTF. ITX enables the Reserve Component to simulate a mobilization and deploy its forces in preparation for potential future deployments in the event of a contingency or crisis.
