ROVANIEMI, Finland — The U.S. Army’s 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment is no stranger to the High North, but this time its soldiers brought an attention-getting newcomer with them.

The M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System made its debut in the field over the past couple of weeks during Dynamic Front, NATO’s largest artillery exercise, and the 41st Field Artillery Brigade soldiers in Finland are having some fun with the opportunity.
