17 Apr 25. Dutch 11th Airmobile Brigade re-activates 120 mm mortars. The Royal Netherlands Army’s (RNLA’s) 11th Airmobile Brigade has re-activated 120 mm mortars after a 13-year hiatus, the Dutch Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on its website on 16 April. The occasion was marked by the mortars officially re-entering service with a first shot at the RNLA’s artillery firing range in ‘t Harde. The service now has two mortar platoons, one for the 11th Airmobile Brigade’s 11th Infantry Battalion in Schaarsbergen and one for its 13th Infantry Battalion in Assen. The Dutch MoD said the mortar platoons will now receive intensive training. In 2027 the 11th Airmobile Brigade will provide a fully operational air manoeuvre task force numbering 600 troops for rapid deployment by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft to crisis or conflict areas. The 120 mm mortars will provide heavy fire support that can be moved by Chinook transport helicopter. The RNLA’s 43rd Mechanised Brigade is equipped with 81 mm mortars, while all other army brigades and the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps (RNLMC) have that calibre as well as 60 mm mortars, according to Janes World Armies. The RNLA and RNLMC use M6 C-640 Mk1 60 mm, L-16 81 mm, and MO-120 RT 120 mm mortars, the latter two of which are towed. In addition, the Netherlands plans to procure CV90 Granatkastarpansarbandvagn (Grkpbv) 90 Mjölner 120 mm armoured mortar vehicles, Janes learnt at Defence iQ’s Future Mortar Systems (FMS) 2024 conference held in London on 29–30 October.

17 Apr 25. U.S. Deploys NMESIS Anti-ship Missile System to Northern Philippines Amid Rising China Tensions. On April 16, 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed the deployment of the Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) to the Philippines, marking the system’s first-ever presence on Philippine soil. This deployment comes in direct support of Exercise Balikatan 25, the long-standing bilateral military exercise between the United States and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), taking place from April 21 to May 9, 2025. The move underscores Washington’s commitment to regional deterrence, maritime security, and allied readiness in the face of rising tensions in the South China Sea. The arrival of the U.S. NMESIS mobile anti-ship missile system in Northern Luzon marks a strategic leap forward in the modernization and interoperability of the U.S.-Philippines defense alliance. More importantly, it signals a clear message to regional observers, particularly China, about the resolve and readiness of both nations to deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific. The NMESIS system, fielded by the U.S. Marine Corps’ 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment (3d MLR), introduces an advanced ground-based maritime strike capability specifically designed for littoral operations. It integrates the Naval Strike Missile (NSM), a stealthy, long-range precision weapon capable of penetrating enemy defenses and striking naval targets at distances exceeding 185 kilometers, with the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary (ROGUE) Fires—an unmanned launcher vehicle mounted on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle chassis. This platform provides mobility, survivability, and precision strike capabilities, enabling forces to conduct sea denial missions from remote or contested islands. As a combat system, NMESIS plays a vital role in enabling the U.S. Marine Corps’ Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) concept, which emphasizes the rapid deployment and dispersal of small, lethal, and agile units across maritime chokepoints. Once deployed, NMESIS can operate autonomously, using off-board sensors for targeting data, and connect to a multi-domain kill web through secure data links, dramatically enhancing the joint force’s ability to detect, track, and engage enemy surface combatants. Its employment in the Philippine archipelago, especially across key terrain like the Batanes Islands and Northern Luzon, provides significant sea control leverage along the Luzon Strait.
In Balikatan 25, NMESIS will be used in simulated maritime strike operations across these territories—areas of significant strategic value due to their proximity to the South China Sea and the Western Pacific. U.S. and Philippine Marines, supported by U.S. Army aviation and Air Force airlift assets, will airlift and position NMESIS launchers across island terrain, working together to establish Fires Expeditionary Advanced Bases. These locations serve as launch points for simulated long-range anti-ship strikes. Although no live missiles will be fired, the exercise will validate key aspects of deployment, targeting, and coordination in real-world terrain under realistic scenarios. The deployment of the NMESIS is taking place against the backdrop of heightened tensions with China, whose expanding presence and military activities in the South China Sea have provoked widespread concern. In recent months, the People’s Liberation Army Navy, Coast Guard, and maritime militia have intensified their incursions into Philippine waters, including confrontations near the Ayungin Shoal and contested areas such as Scarborough and the Spratly Islands. These assertive moves have prompted Manila to bolster its coastal defense posture and pursue stronger military cooperation with the United States.
During his visit to Manila on March 28, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reaffirmed Washington’s unwavering commitment to the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty, stressing that the United States would respond to any armed attack against Philippine forces in the South China Sea. He described the Balikatan exercises as “a defense rehearsal” and a clear manifestation of allied unity against coercion and military pressure in the region. The strategic deployment of NMESIS along the Luzon Strait dramatically enhances the allied deterrence posture. This maritime corridor, one of the world’s busiest and most contested sea lanes, is a crucial transit point for Chinese naval operations entering or exiting the Western Pacific. By placing advanced anti-ship weapons on island terrain within range of this corridor, the U.S. and Philippine forces gain a powerful tool for sea denial—capable of holding hostile vessels at risk without deploying major surface combatants. 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, based in Oahu, Hawaii, is a purpose-built formation under the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030. Its core tasks include reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, integration of fires, and establishment of expeditionary advanced bases in support of naval campaigns. Structured for distributed, low-signature operations in highly contested environments, 3d MLR is uniquely equipped to operate along the first island chain and perform joint operations with partner forces. During Balikatan 25, it will conduct a full spectrum of littoral warfare operations, including air and missile defense, amphibious transport, and maritime surveillance alongside the Philippine Marine Corps. Now in its 40th iteration, Exercise Balikatan symbolizes a maturing strategic alliance shaped by contemporary security threats and shared national interests. The inclusion of NMESIS reflects a significant expansion in combat readiness, technological integration, and joint operational capability between the two countries. It also illustrates the Philippines’ growing role as a frontline state in the U.S.-led regional security framework—an essential partner in deterring coercion and maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Col. John G. Lehane, Commanding Officer of the 3d MLR, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating, “Working with the government and Armed Forces of the Philippines to bring the NMESIS into the Philippines has been a significant step in the right direction for the reaffirmation and strengthening of U.S.-Philippine relations. The AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) are some of our closest and strongest Allies, and we at 3d MLR look forward to coming back to the Philippines at the invitation of the AFP to exercise alongside and learn from our Philippine Marine Corps counterparts.”
In today’s strategic landscape, where regional flashpoints and great power competition converge across the Indo-Pacific, the forward deployment of precision systems like NMESIS, coupled with exercises such as Balikatan, underscores a broader commitment: ensuring that deterrence is credible, defense is integrated, and peace remains preserved through strength and partnership.

13 Apr 25. Lockheed Martin Doubles HIMARS Rocket Launcher Production Amid Global Demand for Precision Artillery. On April 11, 2025, Lockheed Martin Europe announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) account that the company has successfully doubled the annual production rate of the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), reaching 96 launcher vehicles per year. This dramatic increase in production underscores the system’s rising global demand, fueled largely by its battlefield success in Ukraine and the strategic realignment of military priorities among NATO allies and other defense partners. The American-made M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) rocket/missile launcher vehicle has proven to be a game-changer in modern warfare. Originally developed in the late 1990s as a lighter, more mobile variant of the M270 MLRS, the HIMARS gained global notoriety for its devastating precision and operational flexibility. Mounted on a 6×6 wheeled chassis, it can rapidly deploy, fire, and relocate—making it a highly survivable and effective long-range artillery asset. The platform is capable of launching six GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, with plans to transition to the new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) system in the coming years. The renewed surge in HIMARS production is directly tied to the system’s operational effectiveness during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Since mid-2022, the U.S. and its allies have supplied Ukrainian forces with HIMARS systems as part of military aid packages. These systems quickly proved pivotal in altering the strategic landscape. Ukrainian troops used HIMARS to deliver highly accurate strikes on Russian logistics hubs, ammunition depots, and command centers—often located deep behind enemy lines. The ability to disrupt Russian supply lines without exposing Ukrainian troops to return fire has made HIMARS an indispensable part of Kyiv’s counter-offensive capabilities. This battlefield effectiveness has not gone unnoticed. Several countries—including Poland, Romania, Estonia, and Australia—have accelerated procurement programs for HIMARS. Poland, in particular, is planning to purchase over 100 units, signaling a massive investment in deep-fire capabilities. Meanwhile, countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Italy have recently signed contracts, and others, such as Canada, Bulgaria, and Morocco, are in discussions to follow suit. Lockheed Martin has also taken steps to enhance logistical support for its growing customer base by opening a HIMARS Sustainment Center in Romania to maintain and upgrade the systems in the European theater. Beyond its proven track record in Ukraine, the HIMARS rocket/misssile launcher system also represents a strategic shift in modern militaries conducting deep fires and strike operations. Its relatively low logistical footprint compared to tracked systems and its compatibility with a variety of advanced munitions make it attractive for rapid deployment scenarios. Moreover, the ongoing development of extended-range guided rockets and the new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) promises to increase the system’s reach and lethality further, potentially allowing strikes beyond 500 kilometers. The doubling of production also reflects Washington’s broader defense strategy, which increasingly emphasizes deterrence through precision and mobility. Lockheed Martin, under pressure to meet the growing volume of foreign military sales and replenish U.S. stockpiles, has ramped up investments in its manufacturing capacity. With this new production tempo, Lockheed aims not only to meet current demand but also to prepare for the strategic needs of allied forces facing evolving threats. In summary, Lockheed Martin’s move to double HIMARS production directly responds to the system’s rising prominence on the global defense stage. Its performance in Ukraine has validated the system’s capabilities in high-intensity warfare, while its adaptability and technological potential continue to attract international customers. As military doctrines pivot toward precision, speed, and survivability, HIMARS stands as a flagship example of 21st-century battlefield effectiveness—marking a new era for artillery and deep-strike operations worldwide.
