June 16, 2021 - Marines with Marine Rotational Force – Darwin react to a
notional vehicle borne improvised explosive device during Exercise Darrandarra 21 at Nhulunbuy, NT, Australia. A group of MRF-D Marines
role-played as hostile citizens of a foreign nation to realistically
simulate what would happen during an embassy reinforcement.
Darrandarra,
meaning “together,” demonstrates the Marine Corps’ ability to operate with
the Australian Defence Force and reinforce embassies in response to crises
and contingencies in the Indo-Pacific region.
