During Northern Strike 24-1, winter iteration, Guard Soldiers from Michigan's Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 125th Infantry Regiment, underwent cold-weather training to enhance their capabilities in an arctic-like environment. The indirect fire infantrymen, commonly referred to as mortarmen, provided support for Special Operations Forces at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center. Mortars play a crucial role in launching illumination rounds to disclose enemy formations and mark targets, providing essential support for maneuvering units, especially during night operations.
