UK officials visit Fightertown

UK officers pay visit to MCAS Beaufort Story by Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort hosted officers from the United Kingdom’s F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program, June 16. The officers toured the facilities aboard Fightertown in order to increase cooperation and further their own F-35 program. The U.K. has been integrated into Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 since February 2015, when the Royal Air Force flew three Joint Strike Fighters to Fightertown. Currently, there are 14 U.K. service members at VMFAT-501. Six distinguished guests visited MCAS Beaufort which included Air Commodore Harvey Smyth, the lightning force commander for the U.K. F-35 program; Group Capt. Paul Godfrey, the current group captain lightning for the U.K. F-35 program; and Group Capt. Ian Townsend, the incoming group captain lightning for the U.K. F-35 program. Smyth, as the Lightning Force Commander, is responsible for the entire F-35 program in the Royal Air Force. Godfrey Photo by Lance Cpl. Jonah V.

Marine Aircraft Group 31 Change of Command

Hornets sharpen skills down south Story by Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer F/A-18 Hornets from Marine Aircraft Group 31 participated in a live missile shoot on Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Fla., June 6-12. Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons 122 and 115, and Marine AllWeather Fighter Attack Squadron 224 participated in the exercise. The primary purpose of the exercise was to execute air-to-air live-fire missle shoots against unmanned aircraft, also known as drones. The pilots fired live missiles at the drones to simulate a combat environment. “This is a unique experience,” said Lt. Cmdr. Michael Mitchel, head of the F/A-18 weapon system evaluation program under the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group. “This exercise is the first time these squadrons have had an opportunity to train like this. It’s good to get them out of their comfort zone.” The squadrons are using the ADM-141 Tactical Air Launched Decoy against the drones. The ADM-141 TALD is designed to consee

Colonel William R. Lieblein relinquished command of Marine Aircraft Group 31 to Col. Robert D. Cooper during a change of command ceremony on the flight line aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, June 12. Lieblein assumed command of MAG-31 May 20, 2013. Cooper previously commanded Marine Fighter Training Squadron 401 at MCAS Yuma, Ariz. Lieblein thanked his family, friends and fellow Marines for their support and welcomed Cooper to his new command. “I was very fortunate to have a great lineup of squadron commanding officers,” said Lieblein.

“Their leadership is institutional and their perspective is exceptional.” Soon after earning a degree in industrial engineering, Lieblein was commissioned as a Marine officer in August 1989. He began his Marine Corps career at MCAS Beaufort with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 451. Lieblein has been on several deployments, including his most recent, a 13-month deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. “We’ve made some significant strides over the last two years,” said Lieblein. “At the end of my command tour, I know I’ve made MAG-31 stronger and I know that Col. Cooper will do the same.” see

Story by Lance Cpl. Samantha Torres Staff writer

The United States Department of Agriculture kicked off its annual Feds Feed Families campaign, June 1, and needs assistance from the Department of Defense for donations and volunteers. The DoD Feds Feeds Families campaign is a voluntary effort undertaken by Federal employees to bring non-perishable foods to designated donation sites. Donations are collected weekly and are weighed in by the pound. ”There will be donation boxes at the [Marine Corps Exchange], the Station Chapel, the chow hall, and places where large numbers of Marines gather,” said Cmdr. William Holiman, the command chaplain for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “We accept items such as canned foods and

boxed goods.” Donations collected from the Tri-Command go to the Low Country Regional Food Bank in Yemasee, S.C., where food is evenly divided to the distribution sites in the county. “There is a map on the wall that shows the poverty levels in Beaufort County. It’s just sad,” said Holiman. Holiman is asking for volunteers from the Tri-Command to help transport the donated goods to the food bank. Now is the time for service members to support those that support them, said Holiman.

Know symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Story by Lance Cpl. Samantha Torres Staff Writer

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is an anxiety disorder resulting from exposure to a single traumatic event or multiple traumatic events, such as sexual or physical assault, natural or man-made disasters, or war related combat stress, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Certain smells, sounds, sights, hearing or reading about it, nightmares, or even the anniversary of the event can trigger symptoms of PTSD. Some symptoms include, but are not limited to; reliving the event; avoiding situations that remind the person of the event; feeling numb; or always being on alert. During recovery, developing PTSD can be viewed as being stuck, and comes from the fight or flight response a person experi-

ences during a traumatic event. “The nervous system cues using your sight, smell, or even time of day,” said Lt. Nazia Rahman, a licensed clinical psychologist at Naval Hospital Beaufort. “When you are no longer in danger, your body still reacts to those stimuli as if you were still in danger.” A person exposed to an Improvised Explosive Device blast during a deployment may have a panic attack in the future because of loud noises. While driving they may swerve

from objects on the road, or be triggered by dust blowing in the air, said Rahman. Sudden reactions fade over time when cues are avoided; however it can lead a person’s body to react as if they were still in danger. “You will soon not trust your judgement or your own senses when situations are not dangerous,” said Rahman. “This leads to thoughts about the world being dangerous, especially particular places, situations,

large crowds, and they may deem people as untrustworthy. Hence, the beginning stages of PTSD whereas you engage in avoidance behavior.” Post-traumatic stress disorder can be treated. Although it may seem painful to face the traumatic event, there are professionals that can help. There are several kinds of therapy, support groups, and medicines that can lead an individual in the right direction. Other negative effects that come from the disorder are drinking, aggressiveness, and even suicidal thoughts. Speaking with family and friends may be difficult for someone with PTSD because they tend to withdraw from those who care the most. To help an active duty servicemember, veteran or yourself, call the veteran’s crisis line at 1(800) 273-8255, or the suicide prevention lifeline at 1(800) 273-8255.

Marine Barracks Washington

WASHINGTON – In the heart of the nation’s capital, there are Marines that have a special assignment unlike any other. These Marines are specifically trained and equipped to analyze and address any potential threats that intend to cause harm to the Marine Barracks or its visitors; they are the Marines of Guard Company. Marines with Guard Company, Marine Barracks Washington, traveled to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., to increase overall marksmanship with the M9 service pistol, the M4 service rifle and the M1014 shotgun, June 10. Due to the unique location and duties of the barracks, these Marines train tirelessly with and master their weapon systems. The company is continuously training at the barracks, clearing the building, dry firing in the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer or studying their standard operating procedures. At the range, they are able to fire rounds on targets in a crawl, walk, run training progression. At the range, the Marines first executed three evolutions of slow fire with 15 rounds in 10 minutes with their M9s. After the evolutions, the Marines rehearsed controlled pairs and hammer pairs, firing two shots in succession at the target. After demonstrating proficiency during the static training, the Marines moved on to more complex and dynamic drills.

USS RUSHMORE, At Sea – Marines and sailors with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Essex Amphibious Ready Group aboard the USS Rushmore rescued 65 distressed Indonesian mariners from a sinking craft in the Makassar Strait, June 10. The survivors were rescued after four days of clinging to floating debris drifting with the current. Sailors on lookout first noticed scattered debris, and after scouring the waters they noticed what appeared to be people massed together clinging to a makeshift raft. “The call first came roughly after 1 p.m.,” said Capt. Tanner Cobb, the communications officer for Combat Logistics Battalion 15, 15th MEU. “The Rushmore crew then sent a water craft to assess the situation. They determined the [Indonesian] craft was not sea worthy and that the people were stranded in the water.” After the decision was made, Marines and sailors burst into action, and within 30 minutes of receiving the order, they set up an evacuee collection point, and had water, blankets, footwear and medical staff ready to evaluate them. “The Marines and sailors did a fantastic job of integrating between the ‘blue and green’ team to get ready without warning and pulled it off,” said Lt. Col. Wilfred Rivera, the commanding officer for CLB15. “We bring a unique capability that can only be found between the Navy and Marine landing force, and that’s being able to execute a mission like this on a moment’s notice. That’s what the MEU is all about, and these Marines and sailors proved that in their actions.” Once evacuees were pulled from the water, they were transported by sailors in small crafts to the USS Rushmore where they were welcomed by Marines waiting

with warm blankets ready to assist them to medical care. “They were all exhausted and dehydrated, with many of them too weak to walk on their own,” said Petty Officer 3rd Class Christopher Rovelli, a hospital corpsman, with the 15th MEU. “It’s heart wrenching to see it, and at that moment you know that timing is everything. We knew we had to make sure we gave everyone the help they needed, and fast. Luckily, everything we do prepares us for moments like these.” Within hours, the Navy and Marine Corps personnel safely brought the evacuees on board the USS Rushmore to provide shelter and medical attention. It was these feelings that gave Marines

and sailors the energy to push through the night to ensure everyone was cared for. “It was extraordinary seeing everyone come together to help out,” said Cobb. “With so many moving parts, things can get hectic and [friction] can occur, but we didn’t have that problem. Everyone had a job to do and they did it. We had Navy personnel saving [evacuees] and bringing them aboard, and we had Marines and sailors getting them processed, nourished, and attending to any injuries they had.” Even with a language barrier, it had no effect on the Marines and sailors ability to accomplish their mission of caring for the evacuees.

Department of the Navy

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Sgt. Rafael Peralta was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 8. Secretary of the Navy Ray Maybus delivered the award to his mother, Rosa Peralta. According to the award citation, Peralta sacrificed his life by absorbing the blast of an enemy grenade and shielding fellow Marines only feet away while serving with Regimental Combat Team 7, 1st Marine Division, in Fallujah, Iraq, Nov. 15, 2004. Throughout the ceremony several people stepped forward to talk about Peralta and to express their gratitude for his actions. The first to speak was Rafael’s brother, Ricardo Peralta. Ricardo enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2010 as an infantryman to follow in his brother’s footsteps. Ricardo spoke for his family when he said there’s nothing that can replace the sense of pride they have for Rafael and his actions. Ricardo also said his brother didn’t care about medals or decorations; he just wanted to serve as an infantryman. Staff Sgt. Adam Morrison, one of the Marines with Peralta when the grenade detonated, stated that if it wasn’t for Peralta’s actions, he would have been fatally wounded. The Peralta family said they have appreciated the support the Navy and Marine Corps have given to preserve the memory of the fallen warrior. Peralta’s legacy will live on through the stories and memories left behind.

An MV-22B Osprey prepares to land onto the Karel Doorman, a Dutch Navy ship, during an interoperability test off the coast of Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., June 12.

II Marine Expeditionary Force

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION NEW RIVER, N.C. – Spirits ran high aboard the Karel Doorman, a ship with the Royal Netherlands Navy, as U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 made the first MV-22B Osprey landing aboard a Dutch ship during an interoperability test conducted off the coast of Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., June 12. “What we normally do is support the forces ashore,” said Capt. Peter van den Berg, the commanding officer of the ship. To better support ground forces, the amphibious unit recognizes it needs aircraft support, said van den Berg. “That’s why the Netherlands Navy is very interested in cooperating and integrating with the U.S. Marine Corps, and operating the Osprey from our decks,”

said van den Berg. “The Osprey is capable of doing large airlifts at one time.” The landing was the first of its kind and tested the interoperability of the two military entities, as well as the Dutch’s ability to host the American aircraft aboard their ships through carrier landings. “The majority of people live within 300 nautical miles of the ocean,” said Capt. Matthew Thompson, a pilot with VMM261 and the operations officer for the exercise. “With that in mind, the true Marine aspect of ‘from the sea, to the shore’, is increasingly important. Being able to land on a ship, or sea base from a ship, and move people and cargo to the shore is increasingly important.” The test included five landings aboard the warship along with a refuel check to test the Osprey’s ability to receive fuel from the Dutch warship. “[This test] supports the mission of the

2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. When units from 2nd MAW move forward, they sometimes work in concert with coalition partners, and that may include the Dutch one day,” said Thompson. Thompson said building a stronger relationship and testing the units’ ability to integrate was the central focus of the carrier landings. “The MV-22 Osprey provides commanders with unprecedented agility and operational reach,” said Thompson. The U.S military has a long-standing history working with their Dutch counterparts, a partnership both units expressed an interest in deepening. “Having the knowledge that we learned today can help us when we move forward with the Dutch, which I think is a real possibility, especially after seeing the amount of compatibility that we have during a simple exercise like this,” said Thompson.

USS SAN ANTONIO, at sea – Marines from four NATO nations come together during BALTOPS 2015, June 7-17. U.K. Royal Marine Commandos, Finnish Coastal Jaegers and Swedish and U.S. Marines integrated to practice expeditionary, ship-to-shore assaults to enhance their capability to work together as a combined amphibious force. “The U.K. [Commandos] and [United States Marine Corps] work together often, so we have similar procedures. Working with the Marine Corps and the Finnish and Swedish Marines is great because it gives a lot of depth to what we normally do,” said British Capt.

multinational troops, people speaking different languages, people using different equipment and landing crafts; if we went straight into an operation without practicing, it wouldn’t be very well organized,” said Viggars. BALTOPS is NATO’s multinational maritime exercise in

its 43rd iteration. Along with the multinational amphibious force, there are 13 additional allies and partners that come together in the Baltics to improve their capabilities to collectively respond to a range of real-world situations. The relationships and improved capabilities built during the exercise allows the force to operate throughout the region, enhancing and refining a responsive force to defend the Baltics if needed. “The enemy doesn’t just operate in one region; there are threats all over the world,” said Lance Cpl. Joseph M. Hunsaker, a machine gun section leader with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. BALTOPS includes approximately 5,600 ground, maritime and air forces from Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, the United States and the United Kingdom.

II Marine Expeditionary Force

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Marines with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment participated in a squad and platoon level urban terrain training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., June 11. The training consisted of Marines clearing rooms, entering buildings, executing movements, and multiple story operations in an urban environment. Marines were taught to fight in more complex areas by rehearsing transitions from safe areas to urban combat environments which increases confidence. “The goal of this training is to get the Marines more proficient at performing proper military operations,” said Cpl. Jonathan Mara, a section leader with 1/8. “It’s important to have our younger Marines out here with us, because this is a good military course for urban operations and terrain.” Marines trained in a simulated village where they went on patrols and held defensive positions. “This training is something that these Marines have been practicing for a while now, and this is the first time that some of them have gone out to a simulated town to apply their training,” said 1st Lt. Joshua Emison, a platoon commander with 1/8.

MARINE CORPS AIR GROUND COMBAT CENTER TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. -Marines with 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, Marine Forces Reserve, began Integrated Training Exercise 2015 with a live-fire platoon attack exercise during the second day of ITX at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California, June 12. The exercise consisted of a series of combined shooting, fire maneuvers and movement, in which the Marines simulated an encounter and fire suppression against a hostile enemy. The unique terrain and weather conditions present at the platoon attack range provided Marines the most realistic experience of what they could go through during a deployment. “Up and down that hill you actually had to dig deep and find something, otherwise you won’t make it up the hill,” said Sgt. Andrew Gosink, a company section leader with 3/25. “It is the same thing as overseas.” At the culmination of the final platoon attack, the Marines had implemented both their individual skills and those of their team. Mistakes were made and learned from, but this was only day one for these Marines. As the days progress, there will be more work to be done and lessons to be learned, which can be applied to future deployments.

fuse and mislead enemy air defenses. Ordinance used during the training includes the AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, and AIM 120. The Sparrow is a medium range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile introduced in the late 1950s. The Sidewinder is a short-range, air-to-air missile with a kill radius of 30 feet, and was the world’s first combat successful air-to-air guided missile introduced in the late 1950s. The AIM-120 is an

advanced medium-range air-to-air missile with active guidance, and was introduced in Iraq in the 1990s. “It is important for pilots to know what it feels like to pull the trigger on a real target,” said Capt. Nathaniel Griggs, a pilot with the Marine Aviation Training Support Squadron, Marine Aircraft Group 31. “These live fire exercises provide crucial experience.” The exercise reaffirmed the Marines ability to effectively execute live fire missile shoots, and ensures Marine squadrons remain a deadly force in the skies.

is touring MCAS Beaufort for the first time to familiarize himself with the program. “The benefit of this tour is being able to sit down with senior leadership here and see what they think about the integration of British pilots and maintainers into VMFAT-501,” said Godfrey. The visit included a tour of the Pilot Training Center aboard the Air Station. Fightertown’s PTC is the largest F-35 training center in the world where pilots from around the globe enhance their skills. The U.K. is currently building their own. The British guests also toured VMFAT-501 and saw the integrated program up-close. The F-35 program is growing every day and is the future of military aviation for countries around the world. “Without the Marines, the F-35 program would not be where it is today,” said Godfrey.
