U.S. Marines with Company B., 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment (Reinforced), Marine Rotational Force - Darwin, are flown in by MV-22B Ospreys to seize an airfield and participate in a notional casevac at Bradshaw Field Training Area, NT, Australia, Aug. 12, 2021. U.S. Marines seized Nackeroo airfield during Exercise Loobye in preparation for a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System Rapid Infiltration. Exercises like Loobye demonstrate MRF-D's ability to conduct operations as a joint force with the ADF, execute expeditionary operations like HIRAIN and exemplify their mutual dedication to being postured and ready to respond to a crisis or contingency in the Indo-Pacific region.
