U.S. joint forces conducted coordinated multidomain, multiaxis, long-range maritime strikes in the Hawaiian Islands Operating Area during a sinking exercise on the decommissioned guided missile frigate ex-USS Ingraham Aug. 15, 2021. During the exercise, the Marine Corps launched two Naval Strike Missiles from the Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System; both missiles successfully hit its target. The Marine Corps’ primary modernization priority in support of Force Design 2030 is fulfilling the requirement for a ground-based anti-ship missile capability. NMESIS is the Marine Corps’ first solution meeting this requirement. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class David Mora Jr.)
