Private First Class Austin Brooks, a mortarman with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, clears his crew’s gun of debris after firing during a live-fire mortar exercise with 81 mm mortar systems in preparation for the unit’s upcoming deployment at Camp Lejeune, , Jan. 21. The Marines worked with the mortar systems until the late evening, sending more than 350 rounds downrange, and accomplished their goal of having more than 90 percent of their rounds impact on their designated targets.
