Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 12 (MALS) Marines tighten a warhead onto a rocket during Southern Frontier at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, Aug. 23, 2016. These ordnance Marines are working to meet Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122’s goal of dropping 138 tons of ordnance during Southern Frontier. The unit level training afforded Iwakuni Marines the opportunity to train with high explosive weapon body groups typically not used in Japan, while expanding technical and tactical proficiency in their craft. Munitions built during this training are in support of VMFA-1
