U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. John Lara, combat engineer with Logistics Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, detonates the fuse for a bangalore on a demolition range at Kangaroo Flats Training Area, NT, Australia, July 23, 2020. The purpose of this demolition range is for Marines to strengthen their skills of breaching defensive barriers and expand their knowledge on different charges used for breaching. This range was part of a week-long field exercise for MRF-D Marines to enhance their combat assault skills to become a more lethal and competent expeditionary fighting force in order to be prepared to respond to regional crises and contingencies.
