POTD: Heckler & Koch HK 421 With Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
In today’s Photo Of The Day, we visit Modern Day Marine (MDM) 2025, where warfighters and defense industry innovators come together under one roof in Washington, D.C. Featured here are Cpl. Charles Bray-Jones (left), Lance Cpl. Michael Walsh and Cpl. Jack Haertling (right)—signal analysts assigned to the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA).
TFB was the first blog to publish about the Heckler & Koch HK421, already in 2023 in fact, and we’ll continue to bring our readers more information as soon as we learn about it.
Held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, MDM is the premier military exposition focused exclusively on the United States Marine Corps. It’s a venue where everything from amphibious assault vehicles to cutting-edge drones and sensors is on display, offering a glimpse at the future of warfighting and battlefield dominance.
Above you can see U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Eric Nathaniel Williams-Clark, an administrative specialist assigned to Manpower Management Division, U.S. Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs, shoots a simulated M2 machine gun via virtual reality.
