HIMARS Rockets Launch in U.S. and Allied Live-Fire Drills

Watch HIMARS crews move launchers, raise rocket pods, prepare firing positions and launch rockets during separate U.S. and allied training exercises. The fast-cut footage includes an Army HIMARS reconnaissance and live-fire sequence in Hokkaido, Japan; rapid-insertion training between Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Yakima; Marine live-fire training at Camp Fuji; KMEP 26.1 range operations; and Balikatan training in the Philippines. Additional live-fire drills take place at ranges in Estonia, Wisconsin and Romania. The final shipboard sequence shows soldiers loading and securing HIMARS aboard a maneuver support vessel for a simulated mission; it does not show a rocket launch. Captions identify the action and distinguish live fire from movement and loading drills. All footage shows training, not combat. #HIMARS #M142 #USMilitary #RocketArtillery #LiveFire #MilitaryTraining #USArmy #USMarines #NATO #Balikatan
