Illuminating flares lay on a pallet ready for use during an illumination mission for another squadron's integrated training exercise aboard Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Sept. 23. Once the pilot gives the go-ahead to the crew, they push the flares off the ramp into the sky as the lanyard is ripped from the casing and starts the timer. After the timer finishes, the flare ignites, lighting the area for three to four minutes.
