Known by the call signs \"Gunslinger\" and \"Pathfinders,\" the battalion fields two primary weapon systems: the M777A2 155mm howitzer (maximum effective range 30 km) and the M142 HIMARS (maximum effective range 300 km) — and under the Force Design 2030 reorganization, the entire 2nd Marine Division HIMARS capability was consolidated into 2\/10. The battalion is built around two cannon batteries, three rocket batteries, and a headquarters battery — Echo, Fox, Golf, Hotel, and Sierra batteries — making 2\/10 one of the deepest cannon-and-rocket task-organized artillery battalions in the Corps. 2\/10 was activated on April 11, 1941 as the 4th Battalion, 10th Marines and was redesignated as the 2nd Battalion on July 20, 1945. The unit fought across the WWII Pacific in the Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa campaigns; relocated to Camp Lejeune in July 1946 (where it has been ever since); and deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom — including a Helmand Province deployment from October 2009 to May 2010. \"Hellfire Battery\" is the call sign for one of the rocket batteries — the Marines who put the HIMARS on the gun line.
