U.S. Marines assigned to 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division, conduct training during Artillery Relocation Training Program 22.1 at the Japan Ground Self Defense Force Hijudai Training Area, Japan, April 16, 2022. ARTP is an exercise which contributes to the defense of Japan and the U.S.-Japan Alliance as the cornerstone of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. The skills developed at ARTP increase the lethality and proficiency of the only permanently forward-deployed artillery unit in the Marine Corps, enabling them to provide precision indirect fires.
