Aviation Ordnanceman Airman (AW) Austin Emery from Greenfield installs an M2HB .50 caliber machine gun to a gun mount on the port catwalk of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan. The M2HB .50 caliber machine gun is an automatic, recoil-operated, air-cooled machine gun. “I get real excited when I get to work with any weapon on the ship,” said Emery. Ronald Reagan provides a combat-ready force, which protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
