MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. - A U.S. Marine with Marine Rotational Force-Europe 18.1 uses a Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Common Handheld to direct machine gun fire during a platoon-supported attack range at Giskas, Norway, Aug. 7, 2018. The MCH enables Marines to relay messages and locations to other users in a manner similar to text messaging. The tablet’s capabilities will augment previous methods of radio contact, allowing quieter and more efficient long-distance communication. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Gloria Lepko/Released)
