The US Marine Corps is expanding the integration of small first-person-view (FPV) attack drones into infantry training, with Marines recently employing the Neros Archer system during a battalion-level field exercise at Twentynine Palms, California.
Official imagery released on November 8 shows Marines assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, inspecting and preparing the small unmanned aircraft during training conducted on October 20. The exercise incorporated FPV drones into a broader infantry training environment, allowing Marines to practice tactical decision-making and engagement procedures while operating against a simulated opposing force.
The latest activity follows a series of live-fire demonstrations and operational training events across the Indo-Pacific.
