The Tri-Command celebrated Independence Day aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island July 4. Marines, Sailors, their families and citizens of the Lowcountry celebrated the holiday with food, performances by the Parris Island Marine Corps Band, a booth on Marine Corps history and ended with a fireworks display at sunset. “We have been coming to Parris Island to celebrate Independence Day every year since I’ve been stationed here,” said Gunnery Sgt. Jeff Weathern, a drill instructor with Echo Company aboard Parris Island. “The food is great, the people are awesome, and they always have the most amazing fireworks.” According to the Library of Congress, On July 4, 1776 the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence announcing the colonies’ secession from the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1870, the U.S. Congress made July 4th a federal holiday and in 1941 the holiday was expanded to grant a paid holiday for all federal employees. “Freedom to me means having the right to speak and Photo by Cpl.

Bonded by Brotherhood Story by Cpl. Ashley Phillips

Despite it being six years after the death of Sgt. Joshua Ashley, his mother, Tammie Ashley, while surrounded by friends and family, stood face to face with her son’s friend and mentor Gunnery Sgt. Justin Boyer’s for his promotion aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island July 2. This was the second time Tammie had promoted Boyer since the passing of her son. This ceremony was just one reason Tammie Ashley flew across the country from Rancho Cucamonga, California. Another reason, and perhaps the strongest reason, was the bond of family and the memory of her son. “The bond of brotherhood within the military working dog community is like no other,” Tammie said. “After Josh passed away in 2012, Frank and a good percentage of the Marines in the unit who knew Josh, have always been there for me. I know that gold star moms in other branches don’t have the relationship that I have with the Marines. They are family and a lot of them call me mom.” Sgt. Joshua Ashley was killed in action in

support of Operation Enduring Freedom serving as a MWD Handler with Marine Corps Special Operations Command. His K-9 Sirius survived and was later adopted by Tammie. “For me, being able to adopt Sirius is like having a piece of Josh,” she said. “I know Josh never had any children, but I know how much Josh loved Sirius.” According to retired master sergeant, Frank Ginn, that special connection within the MWD community extends to the families and friends of those Marines, and especially to the family of a Marine who made the ultimate sacrifice. He knew he needed to ensure that Josh’s family was taken care of. “Frank was the one who started the ball rolling on getting the kennel (aboard Camp Lejeune) named Ashley Kennel and made sure we could adopt Sirius,” Tammie said. “He does a lot to make sure Josh is not forgotten. He's helped in more ways than we will ever be Photo by Sgt. Brittney Vella able to pay him back.” Tammie Ashely pins Gunnery Sgt.

helping the local community understand why these freedoms come with a cost and that they should not be taken for granted.” Dozens of Marines and Sailors from the Tri-Command came to volunteer for the event.. Volunteers helped set up tents, displays, operated game stations, directed traffic as well as posted security. “I was surprised at the amount of people who came out today,” said Cpl. Vivian Alstead, a volunteer at the event. “It is really awesome to see all of these people come out and celebrate our nation’s birthday together.” As the evening came to a close, MCRD Parris Island performed one of the Marine Corps’ oldest and most hallowed traditions, evening colors. Three Marines march to the flagpole and are responsible for the care and keeping of the American flag. After the playing of evening colors, the fireworks began. “Now that we are in peacetime it is really easy to forget why we fight,” Weathern said. “I don’t think anywhere else in the world does a better job than Parris Island of recognizing Photo by Cpl..Terry Haynes III and honoring the sacrifices made by the men and women who The Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island Band performs during an Independence Day celebration aboard have fought and defended that freedom that we all hold so MCRD Parris Island July 4. dear.

each other to ensure the Marines are safe. “Today I came to see where Frank works now and meet his Marines,” Tammie said. “It’s such an encouragement to me hearing how these Marines look up to and respect Josh; I don’t ever want him to be forgotten.” Ginn explained that Tammie has a growing family of all the Marines who knew Josh and the Marines who have continued to enter into the MWD community. “We continue to pass along the lessons learned and the stories because of his legacy,” Ginn said. “Because the bar was set so high and such a heavy price paid, I introduce Tammie to all of these Marines so that she knows no matter where she is, or where I am, she has a family that is constantly growing and here for her.” After showing Tammie around where he works, Ginn took her for a surprise trip to visit a local artist. “Tammie had no idea, but I took a picture of Sirius to a local artist who just moved here from Hong Kong,” Ginn said. “She made a painting for me and I’m going to give it to Tammie.” No matter where they are or how many years have passed, the Ashley’s have an unbreakable bond with the MWD community based out of love for Josh. According to Tammie, she thinks it’s something almost intangible, a trait that the people within the MWD community just have. “There is a brotherhood like no other I've seen,” Tammie said. “I get to know these boys and they all have a lit-

tle bit of Josh in them. There's just a little bit of him in each one of them and that’s a healing to me. I love hearing the stories, it helps me to be around them.” Boyer says that he loves sharing stories with Tammie and her family about his time with Josh. They love hearing about the laughs they shared and how well loved Josh was and still is. “The day he was killed, I found out that there was going to be a candle light vigil under his “local hero banner” in his hometown,” Boyer said. “It was about a two-hour drive from Camp Pendleton, but it wasn’t even a question whether to go. I knew I needed to be there and provide anything for his family, even if it was just a hug. They had asked me to be a pallbearer for his funeral. From that moment on, we have built a relationship that is like no other. There are many Marines who were close with Josh, but have become even closer to Josh’s parents and brothers now; they are family.” Photo by: Sgt. Brittney Vella

AUSSIES, MARINES TAKE ON AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE

Australian Royal Navy Leading Seamans Timu and Harrison work on the flight deck with MRH90 and CH-53 helicopters during Exercise Sea Explorer aboard the HMAS Canberra at Sea June 9. The helicopters and soldiers were practicing rescue and recovery missions as part of the overall Ex Sea Series 18. The series is designed to train Australian Forces and get them amphibious ready. U.S. Marines and Sailors with Marine Rotational Force - Darwin 18 are working alongside the Australian Defence Force as part of the Amphibious Task Group. Story and photos by Staff Sgt. Daniel Wetzel Marine Rotational Force Darwin

The Australian Defence Force brought on a small group of U.S. Marines to take part in an amphibious raid training, Exercise Sea Series 18, in Australia from May 18 to June 26, 2018. The Marines, from Marine Rotational Force – Darwin 18, arrived in Sydney to start with a command portion of the event aboard the HMAS Canberra. “Sea Series is a threepart exercise,” said Australian Capt. MacDougal, amphibious planning officer with the Amphibious Task Group. “Sea Horizon, the first one, was just a small command element going over command procedures.” The second part, Sea Horizon, consisted of the headquarters element testing wet and dry embarkations. They culminated with Sea Raider where the ATG employed a battalion size element, support element and recon teams in an amphibious certification process, MacDougal said. “Marines with MRF-D supported key functions in the joint operations room and provided subject matter expertise on lethal and non-lethal fires and effects,” MacDougal said. “They developed the intelligence picture and assisted current operations of our landing forces during the exercise.” Three weeks into the exercise, the HMAS Canberra arrived in Brisbane to embark vehicles, infantry units and the rest of the supplies needed. It marked the start of the second part, Exercise Sea Explorer. “Sea Explorer is where the Australians start to build muscle memory for going to the beaches and moving around on the ship,” said U.S. Marine Master Sgt. Kwame Williams, embarkations and operations chief from Combat Logistics Detachment 1. “Much like the Marine Corps, the infantry units will train on the amphibious tactics so when it’s time for the final exercise, they can hopefully roll right through it.” The ADF completed many firsts during the exercise. “This was the first rotational battle group to conduct amphibious operations as part of an Amphibious Readiness Unit,” MacDougal said. “It was also the first time we had air to surface movements from the LHD and LSD to land objectives during any exercise.” In addition to air to surface movements, this was Australia’s largest embarked amphibious element since the Vietnam War, with more than 1,700 sailors, soldiers and airmen involved. That’s more than the total commitment currently deployed, MacDougal said. “The main difficulty for the command was the experience of persons involved,” MacDougal said. “We overcame that by the scale of the exercise, starting with command training then moving on to troop movements and finishing with the final operation.” For many Australian Army members with the 8/9 Royal Army Regiment, this was the first time they embarked on a ship and took part in amphibious operations. “Unlike the United States, Australia doesn’t have a Marine Corps,” Williams said. “This is basically Australia’s amphibious raid and it’s completed by a joint effort with their three branches [Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force.” The Marines attached to the ATG provided advice from their amphibious experience. Advice and expertise, MacDougal said, that Australia’s doctrine couldn’t provide. “Aside from the language barriers and understanding our amphibious doctrine, the Marines were able to jump right in and assist in key billets for the exercise,” MacDougal said. The sole U.S. Navy Sailor, HM2 Luke Campbell, also integrated well with the ADF aboard the ship. “I was able to take part in two masscasualty exercises,” Campbell said. “The medical staff here is great and they were able to certify the ship medical bay for any such combat scenarios.” While the ADF may have been thought of mostly as a Humanitarian and Disaster Relief, MacDougal said, the fleet is now trained a capable to fight against an adversary on an amphibious front.
