Keeping the mission, Marines safe Story by: Lance Cpl. Jonah V. Lovy Staff Writer
A security manager’s course was held aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Aug. 25-28. The four-day class covered security topics pertaining to informational security, personal security, and industrial security within the Marine Corps. The course is offered to security personnel to ensure every unit has Marines trained in the safeguarding of classified information. It is especially important for the military to maintain its security to safeguard its members and the mission. “The course is a requirement for all security managers that are assigned in writing but we open it up to all security personnel throughout the Marine Corps,” said Christopher Lomen, the information personnel security program training manager for the Marine Corps. “We have
assistant security managers, assistant security clerks, security officers, civilians, and active duty that are in the class.” The course covers more than just security procedures. It also details exactly what role a security manager needs to play in their unit. “There’s two parts to it,” said Lomen. “One is a leadership overview course which encompasses day one, and then the remainder of the course covers informational security, personnel security and industrial security.” Representatives from various units aboard the air station attended the course to certify themselves as security managers and sustain their knowledge and skills. Every security manager is required to take the course at least once and are encouraged to attend again as the curriculum evolves. “I am taking the course so I can help run the Marine Aircraft Group 31 security program and make sure that if
I ever get a request for information from the subordinate squadrons, I can help them answer questions as well,” said 1st Lt. Shawn Bunting, the assistant security manager at MAG-31 Informational security is vital to keeping Marines safe from the moment they begin their service and throughout their whole careers. Throughout the Marine Corps, it is required to have a certain level of investigation and vetting before giving access to classified material, said Lomen. “We have to know how to protect our information and make sure people’s clearances are up to date so we don’t have insider threats trying to steal information or even try to hurt Marines,” said Bunting. One of the reasons security personnel are present in every unit in the Marine see

30 years ago: Beaufort receives first Hornet Wojtasek, and Lt. Gen. Alfred Gray Jr., the former commanding general of Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic, spoke during the ceremony. As guest speakers took their place at the podium, they emphasized the importance of the men and women working to make the F-18 welcome to the fleet, and stressed the importance of the aircraft’s capabilities.“Our Marines deserve nothing but the best,” said Gray during his speech. “The F-18 is the finest aircraft in the world. We always say that the mission of Marine aviation is to support the man on the ground. I have a different way of saying that. I believe the mission of Marine aviation is to help the commander, whoever he may be, win. We win with the F-18, and we don’t win without it.” When the Hornet was first introduced to the Marine Corps, it was praised for having advanced computer technology and radar systems. These upgrades enabled pilots to do substantially more, as attackers and defenders, than they could with the F-4 Phantom II, the F-18’s predecessor. “With the F-4, we could come within

Fightertown Fun Facts
On a hot Lowcountry afternoon, Col. Robert Pappas, the former commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 31, and Lt. Col. James Wojtsek, the former commanding officer of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115, flew the first two F/A-18 Hornets to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort July 3, 1985. Maj. Gen. Richard Cooke, the former commanding general of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, met with the pilots upon their arrival, and saw the first two Hornets assigned to his MAW. In the month to follow, MAG-31 received four more Hornets. The six aircraft were then assigned to VMFA-115 during a Hornet Welcoming ceremony aboard the air station August 16, 1985, making VMFA-115 the first F-18 squadron under 2nd MAW, and the fourth in the Marine Corps. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony which featured the Parris Island Marine Band; static displays of the aircraft; and several speakers. Cooke,

100 feet of a bunker the ground commander wants destroyed, with the Hornet, if the pilot marks it, we could put ordnance right through the front door,” said Wojtasek during his speech. “This is a remarkable aircraft that will serve the Marine Corps into the next century.” The F-18 continues to serve the Marine Corps to this day. For more than 30 years, the F-18 has filled critical roles in exercises and operations to include Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. “I envy you, Wojtasek, and your Marines for the opportunities and challenges that await you,” said Cook during his speech. “I feel fortunate to be here to command these Marines. These are tremendously exciting days in Marine aviation.” More than one year ago, Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 held a similar ceremony when the squadron was assigned their first F-35B Lightning II. The air station now stands in a similar position as it did three decades ago, ready to face the future challenges and opportunities that come with a new aircraft.

You are not alone Stor y by: Lance Cpl. Samantha K. Torres Staff Writer
You go to a bar off base. You get distrac ted and loses sight of your friend. You leave the establishment thinking your buddy called it an early night. The nex t morning, you go to your buddy ’s room to check on them. The room is dark and they are cr ying in bed under their sheets. Your buddy tells you they were sexually assaulted and they don’t k now what to do. Do you k now what to do? There are several op tions of repor ting a sexual assault, including but not limited to, going to medical personnel, a hospital, therapist, chaplain or anyone in the clergy, or direc tly to the authorities. In the militar y there is the option of talk ing to a Uniformed Vic tim Advocate, whose re sponsibility is to help vic tims of sexual assault and educate them on their options of confidentiality and repor ting. “ The UVA is like a first responder,” said Staff Sgt. Mack Hop k ins, pistol range officer in charge and UVA for Headquar ters and Headquar ters Squadron. “I t allows the victim the oppor tunity to speak with someone with confidentiality.” “Advocates are committed to maintaining
the highest possible levels of confidentiality in their communication with vic tims,” said Sharria Johnson, the SAPR coordinator aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufor t. The UVA plays a vital role for the vic tim and educates them on the way for ward af ter a sexual assault. “ The role of the UVA is to be there for the vic tim,” said Hopk ins. “I t ’s the responsibility to give the vic tim a choice and how they want to repor t.” When a vic tim re por ts a sexual assault to a UVA, they have the option of filing a re stric ted or unrestric ted repor t. A restric ted re por t keeps the incident between the vic tim and the UVA, whereas an unrestric ted repor t gets filed and repor ted to authorities, opening a formal investigation. “ When it ’s a restric ted repor t, the vic tim doesn’t have to deal direc tly with law enforcement, their chain of command, or any other command,” said Hopk ins. “I t ’s one on one and the vic tim has control of the level of privac y.” Seek ing assistance from the UVA is a legality buffer. The vic tim can change the repor t from restric ted to unre stric ted later on in the process, said Hopk ins. Ever y Marine is a mandator y repor ter in the event of witnessing a sexual assault tak ing place, and should make
the repor t to their chain of command, law enforcement, or militar y police. When an incident is repor ted by a third par ty the repor t automatically becomes unrestric ted. “A vic tim advocate can provide annual training and pre - de ployment briefs to Marines as well,” said Johnson. The Marine Corps ensures that ever y Marine receives annual training and guidance for the Sexual Assault Pre vention and Response program. Only those with the experience and adequate training are chosen to be advo cates. “A UVA is a staff noncommissioned officer or above with experience and training so they k now how to handle the situations,” said Hopk ins. Communication be tween the vic tim and the UVA is impor tant because of the sensitive nature of the top ic. Vic tims should feel comfor table discussing their situation with the advocate. “ The suppor t of a UVA is continuous for the vic tims throughout the healing process whether it deals with legal or medical,” said Sgt. Maj. Kecia Jordan, the sergeant major of MCAS Beaufor t. “Being a UVA is more than a collateral duty. They have qualities above and beyond any other job, and have to be approachable with good communica-

tion sk ills, and be comfor table with sensitive topics that deal with sexual assault.” The Marine Corps has civilian advocates as well, but having some one wearing the same uniform as the victim can give a sense of comfor t and security for the vic tim, said Hopk ins. Also, vic tim advo -
cates are both males and females, so that the vic tim can choose who they are more comfor table talk ing with. “I wish we didn’t have sexual assault in the militar y, but being that we do, we have to have the best of the best Uniformed Vic tim Advocates to help victims,” said Jordan. “I t ’s par t of the Never Leave
a Marine Behind concept.” Sexual assault is a criminal ac t and is not tolerated in the Marine Corps. I t affec ts unit morale and can de grade mission efficienc y and readiness. For 24/7 suppor t and advocac y ser vices, call the Vic tim Advocac y Suppor t Program at (843) 592-0646.

Security continued from page 1
Corps is to make sure no threats emerge from inside. “ These individuals have the opportunity to identify and deter insider threat issues utilizing some of the same programs that we already have like continuous evaluation and the force preservation council,” said Lomen. “It also helps to make sure everyone maintains their clearance eligibility so they can access classified information and assume greater duties and responsibilities to possibly be able to transition over into different jobs.” The course curriculum is constantly changing and evolving to stay up to date with current security issues. The recent violence aboard military installations has caused security to be heightened around the Marine Corps. “We are taking a lot of the old information and revamping it and adjusting it to new current ideas based on recent events like the Washington Navy Yard shooting and Chattanooga,” said Lomen. “Each iteration of the course gets a little more refined and a little bit more updated.” The course is open for all Marines and Department of Defense civilians. Every service member holding a security billet is required to receive the training. “It’s a one-time deal,” said Lomen. “ They attend the course and receive their certification and then they maintain it so if they have to move on to another unit, they already have the certification required.” Security is important for all units in the Marine Corps. Safeguarding classified information helps protect Marines and their operations.

1st Marine Division demonstrates its amphibious capabilities for Secretary of Defense
Marines and light armored vehicles are transported to shore by Landing Craft Air Cushions from Navy assault craft, during a demonstration of an amphibious raid in conjunction with a visit from the secretary of defense, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Marines and sailors with 1st Marine Division had the opportunity to conduct an amphibious raid demonstration in conjunction with a visit from the secretary of defense at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. Aug. 27. U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter observed the training conducted by multiple units. Company A, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, used assault amphibious vehicles to move infantrymen from Company A, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, to shore from the amphibious transport dock ship USS New Orleans (LDP 18) while 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion provided additional security. Once on shore, the tracked vehicles advanced into a “combat town” training area and released the Marines with 1st Bn., 1st Marines, who conducted a simulated attack on a building, while engaged by role players simulating an enemy force. The attack included the use of blank ammunition to increase the realism of the raid. Shortly after the AAVs advanced past the beach to their objective, they were reinforced by another wave from the sea. Two Landing Craft Air Cushions from Navy assault craft 5, brought forth a platoon of
light armored vehicles with 3rd LAR, 1st Marine Division, who quickly disembarked and maneuvered to provide additional security. Just prior to the amphibious landing, Marines from 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Mar. Div., inserted close to the beach using riverine command boats and swam ashore to conduct a beach reconnaissance with the mission of identifying any obstacles or “enemy” that may interfere with the main landing force. After their initial reconnaissance, the Marines continued to provide guidance to the landing forces and assisted with the follow-on seizure of the beach. The demonstration was a prime opportunity for the different units to practice working together in an amphibious raid, according to Capt. Joseph Berg, the commander of Company A, 1st Bn., 1st Marines. “It’s a very rare opportunity to bring the team together,” said Berg. “We usually only see it in large [exercises] like Dawn Blitz, Steel Knight, or when we are with [III Marine Expeditionary Force conducting exercises] like Cobra Gold. Being able to have this unique experience, where we bring a team together in a short compressed timeline, is a testament of our flexibility and will to adapt to our environment in order to accomplish the mission.” According to Carter, amphibious capa-
Marines with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion reconnoiter the beach as Company A, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, maneuvers ashore during an amphibious raid demonstration in conjunction with a visit from the secretary of defense, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. Aug. 27. The amphibious assault vehicles transported infantrymen with Company A, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment to shore after disembarking the amphibious transport dock ship USS New Orleans (LPD 18) while 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, provided additional security. The Marines are 1st Marine Division.
bilities are vital as the U.S. military rebalances its forces in the Pacific theater, providing a globally rapid response force. The U.S. is adapting its overall defensive posture to be geographically distributed and
operationally resilient. The demonstration showcased the Navy and Marine Corps’ ability to support these objectives while operating as a cohesive warfighting team.

Marines prepare to breach a door leading into a shoot house aboard the Naval Support Activity Northwest Annex, Va. during Advanced Urban Combat Training Aug. 28. The training simulated the Marines taking back key terrain utilizing both lethal and non-lethal weapons systems. While in the shoot house, the Marines neutralized different kinds of targets with the goal of testing how they would react under a stressful situation. The Marines are with Alpha Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team Company.
Marines wait to move into a room to provide support at a shoot house aboard the Naval Support Activity Northwest Annex, Va. during Advanced Urban Combat Training Aug. 28. The training required the Marines to move through the environment utilizing both live rounds and flash bang grenades to neutralize different types of targets. The Marines are with Alpha Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team Company.
NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY NORTHWEST ANNEX, Va. — There is complete silence in the air in the seconds leading up to the loud pop emitted by a flash bang grenade dropped down a flight of stairs by a Marine. Suddenly, what looks like a chaotic scene to an outsider complete with shouts and rounds going off takes over as the Marines make their way down a tiny staircase, into a room where one of them fires a live round into a threatening target. This has all been part of a training event set up for Marines with Alpha Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team Company, FAST Regiment, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force Aug. 28 at a shoot house at Naval Support Activity Northwest Annex, Va. The training required the Marines within the unit to use their tactics and teamwork to take over a simulated residential structure using both live rounds and flash bang grenades. In the week leading up to the training, the Marines rehearsed and were given classes which prepared them for training with live rounds. “Throughout the week, the Marines will be receiving classes on defensive positions, urban patrolling and isolating the objective,” said Sgt. Julian Paige, a closequarters battle instructor with FAST Regiment, and a Jacksonville, Fla., native. “Once they receive all of these skills, they apply everything they have learned.” Due to the nature of this training, all of the Marines got their marksmanship skills tested on a range, according to Staff Sgt. Bradley Krueger, a close quarters battle team leader with FAST Regiment, and a native of Appleton, Wis. “From day one, we start evaluating the Marines’ marksmanship,” said Krueger. “Only the Marines who meet our qualification course of fire are allowed to have live rounds inside the house to shoot.”
For the majority of FAST Marines, this is their first time participating in an advanced urban combat training exercise, according to Krueger. “This training gives them the basic tools they will need to know to accomplish the mission,” said Krueger. “From there, the platoon will develop their own personal techniques for what they are going to utilize.” After a week of classes and rehearsals the Marines who qualified to carry live rounds entered the shoot house with their goal being to apply everything they learned as well as controlling the numerous types of targets. “All of the students will have live rounds in both of their weapons systems (rifle and pistol),” said Krueger. “There will be targets on the walls that will act as a threat, nonthreat, or even a threat controlling a hostage.” For the Marines to succeed in the shoot house, teamwork was critical, according to Paige. “Teamwork is a huge factor with this,” said Paige. “They must be able to communicate with each other and understand what everybody is going to be doing.” For the Marines who participated, the exercise was highly beneficial, according to Lance Cpl. Thomas Allis, a squad leader with FAST Regiment. “This training helped assist us with our job and gives us a better understanding of the fundamentals,” said Allis. “It also really gave us a greater sense of camaraderie.” In addition to feeling confident with themselves, the training also left the Marines comfortable with the abilities of those around them, according to Capt. Patrick Hassett, a platoon commander with FAST Regiment, and a native of Walkersville, Md. “I am much more confident with our abilities as a unit and in myself as a shooter. Live fire is always a confirmation of previously learned training,” said Hassett. “I have seen significant improvements in the Marines. Live-fire is a confidence booster especially in a shoot house or close quarters environment. They have more confidence in themselves and the members of their fire team.”
