Marine Corps Col. Matthew Shortal and John Lewis pose for a photo while waiting to spectate a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launch in support of Valiant Shield 2022 on Palau, June 8, 2022. This is the first time the Marine Corps employed a HIMARS on the island of Angaur. The HIMARS rapid infiltration, or HI-RAIN, was possible due to improvements made to the Angaur Airstrip during Task Force Koa Moana in 2020.
