Marine Corps Cpl. Jonathan Bloodworth, a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System operator with 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, observes the HIMARS launch site 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.
