POTD: Recon Marines Armed with M27 Reconnaissance Weapons Kits (RWK)
TFB’s Photo Of The Day – the gift that keeps on giving every day. Here we have U.S. Marines with the M27 Reconnaissance Weapons Kit (RWK) variant of the M27 / HK416 with an 11.0” barrel, Trijicons and lasers. We see them participating in a live fire range during a combat marksmanship program range as part of exercise Koa Moana 24 at Joint Range Complex, Ngatpang, Palau, 2024.
Below: Reloading the M27 RWK. You can see the full auto version of ”unload and show clear” below.
From the caption:
“During Koa Moana’s deployment throughout the Indo-Pacific region, U.S. Marines and Sailors from I Marine Expeditionary Force work to strengthen alliances and partnerships with development of interoperable capabilities, combined operations, theater security cooperation, and capacity-building efforts. 1st MLG sustains warfighting readiness throughout fulfilling global force management requirements, providing capabilities aligned with I Marine Expeditionary Force, and operational needs through manning, training, and equipping of combat-credible forces.”
