The U.S. Marines conducted a landmark training exercise which saw them fire the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System for the first time while near the base of Mount Fuji, Japan.
Marines of the 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division unleashed HIMARS missiles during live-fire training at Camp Fuji on Oct. 27. Although the location has been used as a training ground for a wide variety of U.S. military exercises, this live-fire drill is the first instance in which Marines have practiced firing long-range missiles from the area.
The HIMARS system is a mobile artillery platform that is highly versatile in terms of maneuverability and especially in its capability of delivering effective long-range strikes with an array of different munitions.
The live-fire exercise near Mount Fuji comes amid unprecedented tensions in the Indo-Pacific region. In May, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released a joint statement with the Defense Ministers of Japan, Australian and the Philippines, condemning "China’s destabilizing actions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea and any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion."

美國陸戰隊在日本富士山基地附近,舉行了一場具里程碑意義的演訓,首次在當地發射高機動多管火箭系統。
第3陸戰師第12陸戰團第3營官兵,10月27日在富士營區進行實彈射擊訓練,發射了「海馬士」飛彈。儘管富士營區長期以來就是美軍多項軍演的地點,但美國陸戰隊是首次在當地實施長程飛彈的實彈射擊演訓。
「海馬士」系統是一款高機動性的火箭砲平臺,尤其是能搭載多種彈藥,具備靈活機動與遠程精確打擊的能力。
這場在富士山附近的實彈演習,舉行之際正值印太地區局勢空前緊張。美國國防部長赫格塞斯5月曾與日澳菲防長發表聯合聲明,譴責「中共破壞東海與南海穩定的行為,以及任何以武力或脅迫片面改變現狀的企圖」。
