Elements of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing conduct a combined arms exercise in conjunction with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Fort Stewart, Ga, during Exercise Arrowhead Thunder 2016 Aug. 15-19. Flying squadrons from Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. are using the facilities aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort as a staging area during the training evolution. Marines in the air and on the

ground created a large-scale combat simulation to hone their skills. Each unit worked together to train as a Marine Air Ground Task Force. “Arrowhead Thunder is an exercise primarily for 1/10 Marines, which is an artillery battalion, to exercise all their skills and to integrate exterior elements create a better simulation of what the battlefield looks like when they are deployed,” said Capt. Trevor W. Sewell, a CH-53E Super Stallion pilot with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464, Marine Aircraft

Group 29. The squadrons from MCAS New River and F/A-18C Hornets from MCAS Beaufort provided close air support and airborne forward air control. The CH-53s provided direct support to the Marines on the ground by using their lift capabilities to transport equipment and personnel. “The role of the CH-53s is to perform as a heavy lift asset which means we pick stuff up and put it down,” said Sewell. “We mainly focus on moving the M777 Howitzer see

Marine Corps firefighting creates new life for Texas native

Cpl. Jesse Meyers gives a familiarization class to Cpl. Michael Barton and the No. 17 Squadron Fire and Rescue team at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, July 28. Meyers is a power liner with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122, Marine Aircraft Group 31 and Barton is an aircraft rescue firefighter specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, Marine Aircraft Group 12.

Story by: Cpl. Nicole Zurbrugg Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan

ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE BASE TINDAL, Australia -- Looking for some excitement and a job that meant something more to him, Michael Barton left the monotony of working in the oil fields of Texas and followed in the footsteps of family and friends, joining the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 20. “Most of my friends had joined the military by then,” said Barton. “My father served in the Corps as intel, and my Great Uncle Eddie fought in Korea alongside Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller. I feel like I’m carrying on a family tradition, and I hope someday my kids will too.” Choosing the military occupational specialty 7000, air operations, Barton headed off to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in 2013 to become one of the few and the proud, and then

onto MOS school, where he trained to be a firefighter. “I love my job,” said Barton. “I feel like it’s one of the best jobs in the Marine Corps. Knowing that somebody is having a bad day, and we’re able to alleviate that by saving a life or an aircraft definitely gives you a good feeling. They get to go home at night because of something we did.” Today, the Houston, Texas native is stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, serving as an aircraft rescue firefighter specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171. Living in Japan has given Barton countless opportunities to travel around the Pacific region on deployments; first to Thailand then to the Philippines and currently at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia. For the next few weeks, Barton serves as the liaison between the No. 17 Squadron Fire and Rescue team stationed at RAAF

Tindal, and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 during Exercise Pitch Black 2016. VMFA-122 is home based out of MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, and are currently assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 12 at MCAS Iwakuni with the Unit Deployment Program. “As a liaison, I assist the No. 17 firefighters in emergencies involving the Marine F/A-18C Hornets,” said Barton. “Our standard operating procedures are slightly different as well as our aircraft.” Barton said the No. 17 team instantly took him on as one of their own and does everything they do from cleaning to going out on calls, but was surprised to find that both services basically operate and train the same way. “The first day I was here, they put me on a truck, on crew, wet checks and maintenance,” said Barton. “I love being here, learning from them and being able to support our Marines and aircraft in case of an emergency.”

Despite almost parallel daily schedules, Barton has the vital task of ensuring VMFA-122’s pilots and aircraft are able to accomplish their mission successfully and safely. “Having a Marine here to teach us what their procedures are makes our job easier during Pitch Black,” said Cpl. Luke Van Den Heuvel, a firefighter with No. 17 Squadron. “Especially one like Cpl. Barton — he’s quiet, but is very knowledgeable about his job.” Barton still gets excited every time the alarm rings; never knowing what possible emergency has arisen. “Most of the alarms we’ve had so far are hot brake landings, when an aircraft lands and the brakes are held too long making them overheat and possibly explode, causing a fire,” said Barton. “Another alarm is arrested landings. When an aircraft has any number of problems, it has to take the hook. The jets have tail hooks that drop and snag a

cable running across the runway to stop an aircraft.” After Pitch Black, Barton will continue serving as an aircraft rescue firefighter specialist at MCAS Iwakuni where he extended an extra year. “I love the camaraderie in Iwakuni,” said Barton. “Back in the states after work, most people go their separate ways. Being stationed in Japan, everyone lives together on and off work, creating a family atmosphere.” The discipline, awareness, certifications and qualifications earned on the job is preparing Barton for life after the military where he plans to continue his career as a firefighter after the Marine Corps. “Being a firefighter in the Marine Corps has set me up for life,” said Barton. “After retirement or getting out of the military, most of the qualifications earned during active duty will carry over for a smooth transition.”

Cpl. Chris Lawler observes an F/A-18C Hornet with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 approach the refueling hose during Exercise Pitch Black 2016 at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia Aug. 9. VMGR-152 provides aerial refueling and assault support during expeditionary, joint and combined operations like Pitch Black. This exercise is a biennial, three week, multinational, large-force training exercise hosted by RAAF Tindal. Lawler is a crewmaster with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152, Marine Aircraft Group 12.

An F/A-18C Hornet taxis into an ordnance loading area after landing at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia July 21. VMFA-122 traveled to RAAF Base Tindal for the first time to participate in Pitch Black 2016 and unit level training known as Southern Frontier. Pitch Black affords Marines with VMFA-122 the opportunity to integrate and increase interoperability with regional joint and coalition partners, while developing operational concepts for conducting sustained combat operations. Southern Frontier will help the squadron gain experience and qualifications in low altitude, air-ground, high explosive ordnance delivery at the unit level. The aircraft is with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122, forward deployed to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan.

think this event builds camaraderie within the unit,” said Sgt. McCoy Herold, armory chief with H&HS. “It lets everyone come together and meet face to face. The shops show and meet, the families meet, and the kids meet. It builds a better environment with the unit.” Colonel Peter Buck, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort also raffled off a free 72 hour liberty. Marines attending the event had to sign a roster and be present at the end of the party when the winner’s name was drawn. “The raffle was a way for the CO to give back to the Marines for how hard they work,” said Sgt. Felicia White, a postal clerk with H&HS. “Events like this allow Marines to interact with their command and voice their opinions. Normally they don’t get to see their higher-ups. I think that here they got to see their command in a different light.” The event was a chance for Marines and their families to relax and come together before the busy school year starts. H&HS hosted the event to promote unit cohesion.

A CH-53E Super Stallion flies during Exercise Arrowhead Thunder at Fort Stewart, Ga. Aug. 15. Flying squadrons from Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. with support from F/A-18C Hornets from MCAS Beaufort conducted a combined arms exercise with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Fort Stewart, Ga.

from one landing zone to another. Each one weighs about 10,000 pounds so the CH-53 is the only asset in the Marine Corps with that capability.” The M777 Howitzer is a heavy artillery cannon used by the Marine Corps to suppress enemy forces at long range. The continued operation and mobility of the weapon is vital to the ground unit’s mission. Live fire was used in a contained area during the simulation. “For the purposes of the exercise the simulated enemy is located in the artillery impact area so they can facilitate live fire training,” said Sewell. “The artillery Marines are shooting live fire almost every day of the exercise. The flying squadrons will not be shooting live ordnance.” While the Super Stallions move ammunition and gear, the AH-1W Cobras and UH-1Y Venoms are providing close air support. This requires close coordination between squadrons. “How much we coordinate with other units depends on what type of operation we are doing that day,” said Sewell. “We build a diagram with lines that determine what altitudes and areas each type of aircraft can be at. CH-53s have to be down low so we spend all our time 500 feet and below. Cobras and Venoms are going to be no lower than 1,000 feet and no higher than 3,000 feet to give us a good buffer.” Sewell explained that the ability to function as a MAGTF is a powerful capability, unique to the Marine Corps, and it is important that Marines train to employ their forces in such a fashion, and Arrowhead Thunder allowed the Marines to do exactly that. “We are here to support the rest of the squadrons who are down here to train,” said Lance Cpl. Luis Cervantez, an avionics technician with HMH-464. “This exercise is a group effort not only between the different units but between the pilots and the Marines on the ground. Everyone has to train and fight as a MAGTF.” Exercises like Arrowhead Thunder provide a unique training environment

for Marines. Working as a team helps each unit become more proficient individually. “Generally each squadron works independently to train,” said Cervantez. “Every now and then we come together and combine our capability which requires more coordination but allows us to accomplish better training.” Part of the training simulation has been adapting to operations in a different area than what the squadron are used to. In a deployed environment, pilots and maintainers will be in completely new surroundings so temporarily relocating at MCAS Beaufort is good practice. “It is important for us to rehearse moving and setting up shop elsewhere within 24 hours,” said Sewell. “It helps us simulate a deployed environment to work in new environments with different facilities.” The squadrons staying here are accustomed to slightly different facilities than the ones built to support fixed-wing aircraft. Hangars built for helicopters tend to be taller but the capabilities are mostly the same. Pilots and maintainers are expected to retain their mission readiness in any environment. “Beaufort has been great it’s a beautiful town and a beautiful base,” said Sewell. “The environment is a little different now that we’re on a base that houses jets instead of helicopters. Fixed wing squadrons tend to operate a little differently and view things from a different perspective. Their slowest speed is close to our fastest speed so naturally we think differently but in the end we are all here for the same reason.” At the conclusion of the exercise, the squadrons will return to MCAS New River. In addition to being forced to defeat a simulated enemy, Exercise Arrowhead Thunder prepared Marines for future training requirements, such as weapons and tactics instructor’s course, and future deployment operations. Supporting the ground combat element is vital to the MAGTF’s overall effectiveness in emerging battlefields. Exercise Arrowhead Thunder helps each element sharpen not only their individual combat prowess, but also their ability to operate with each other.

Dr. Christy Huddleston delivers a speech at the Laurel Bay Communities opening ceremony at Bolden Elementary/Middle School Aug. 11. To illustrate how much teaching has changed she took a poll of the audience. The theme of the opening was “embracing change;changes that have been made will create a better atmosphere of colaboration and teamwork. Huddleston is Department of Defense Education Activities Americas Southeast District Superintendent.

well-being of our children truly has a noble task,” said Col.Peter Buck, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and keynote speaker. “You are super heroes. You really are. You have in my mind one of the most important jobs out there: You are in charge of educating, molding, and guiding our children to the future.” The Beaufort Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps’ color guard presented colors followed by the singing of the national anthem, performed by George Ulmer. Kathleen Reiss, the DoDEA Americas Southeast District Community Superintendent gave the opening remarks. “I am very impressed with all your excitement,” said Reiss. “I have been in education a long time and every single year I get excited at the beginning of the school year.” The Teachers came to the opening ceremony wearing construction hats and reflective vests, showing their enthusiasm and willingness to work hard this next year. “The goal of the 21st century educator is to challenge our children to become modern students,” said Reiss. “Change involves ending or letting go of old practices. We can all upgrade our skills, knowledge, and practices.” Reiss finished up her remarks and a short video was played. It stated the necessity of change. According to the schools they are preparing their students for changes that haven’t occurred yet, and the critical thinking and problem solving skills they teach will set the foundation for success of the students in the years to come. “This year’s theme, ‘embracing the future; moving forward together’, is no more important here than any other school,” said Buck. “Our children are ar-

riving here in Beaufort probably having changed duty stations from another state or country. Our children may have a parent deployed or about to deploy. They are learning to deal with change on all fronts as they start this school year. Along with their parents, they look to you for wisdom, structure, compassion and guidance.” At the start of every year the schools base their curriculum on a theme. This year’s theme of embracing change and teamwork follows directly after last year’s theme, QUEST. QUEST stands for question, understand, educate, and strive for excellence. The schools understand that collaboration breeds creativity and strength. The staff and faculty were reminded that they need to work together, to draw from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. “The goose at the front of the formation takes on the brunt of the work,” said Dr. Christy Huddleston, DoDEA Americas Southeast District Superintendant. “When he gets tired he flies to the back of the formation and another takes his place. They share the load. A goose who flies out of formation can’t make it alone. We need to share the load with each other, help each other.” According to Huddleston, the common goal that the staff and faculty share can be reached more easily if they work together and take turns doing hard jobs. Her hope is that school leaders and staff commit to a culture that is based on shared values and beliefs about teaching. Her goal is to create culture that supports equitable educational programs for students. “Being an educator is not just another job,” said Huddleston. “It is a calling. Remember you mission: educate, engage, and empower each student to succeed! It is possible.”

2nd LEB conducts weapon training package

Marines participate in a Beretta M9 pistol shoot during a weeklong weapon training exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. Aug. 9. Marines practiced handling and firing pistols in several unconventional style drills, helping enhance their skills with the weapon.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Marines with 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion participated in a Beretta M9 pistol shoot during a weeklong weapon training exercise, August 8-12, 2016. Upon arrival to the range Marines with the unit prepared their targets for the day and practiced dry fire drills, which allows Marines to go through all the movements of normal training without discharging their weapons. Marines received their ammo, loaded their magazines and stepped up to the firing line for further instruction. “We went through various drills in several shooting positions to enhance our knowledge, confidence, and skills

with the M9,” said Lance Cpl. Bruce S. Beard Jr., a military policeman with the unit. “If we get into a gun fight, we aren’t limited to the basic skills anymore.” The Marines had the opportunity to shoot while lying on their sides and backs, which is not typical for a normal training range, explained 1st Lt. Keith Brown, the training officer with the unit. Every situation is handled in a unique way and requires the knowledge and skills to perform these techniques in an unconventional environment. “This course is designed to make Marines aware of the 360 degree threat, because when you are down range, the threat is all around,” said Brown. “The threat isn’t going to be only in your lane, so a lot of the movement drills we are doing are designed to defeat that 360 degree threat.”

Marine Corps stays one step ahead of the enemy with new, lighter surveillance sensor

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Marine Corps Systems Command is equipping Marines with a smaller, lighter, longer-lasting measurement and signature intelligence sensor to keep them one step ahead of the enemy. Fielded six months ahead of schedule this June, the Magnetic Intrusion Detector II can be easily concealed and provides ground sensor platoons the capability for remote surveillance using unattended sensors. MAGID II is used to detect vehicles and

rifle-sized targets moving within its electromagnetic fields. “We fielded the MAGID II early to Marine Corps intelligence squadrons,” said John Covington, project officer for the Tactical Remote Sensor System in MCSC’s Marine Intelligence program office. MAGID II is part of the Corps’ Unattended Ground Sensor Set, a Tactical Remote Sensor System component. “The new device is 50 percent smaller, 33 percent lighter and uses 32 percent less energy than its predecessor. The modernized MAGID provides not only target detection and direction information, but also mag-

netic disturbance readout, indicating the size of the target.” The improved MAGID II is easier for Marines to use and harder for enemy combatants to locate. MAGID II also improves on the original device’s capability, which was unidirectional, meaning it could not detect moving objects not in its line of sight. “The new MAGID II is multi-directional, meaning the magnetic changes can be detected no matter where the device is pointed,” said Covington. MAGID II works in concert with the larger suite of UGSS devices that detect seismic, acoustic and infrared activity

in addition to MAGID II’s magnetic detection capability. Covington said these remote sensor capabilities allow continuous surveillance of key areas, which give operational leaders better situational awareness in theater with less manpower than the previous system. “MAGID II is important because it opens up the battle space awareness of the unit commander with information they would normally not have,” said Covington. “Without remote sensors, the intelligence obtained would only be accessible if designated personnel were stationed in the location doing

surveillance.” By reducing the number of Marines required for surveillance operations and increasing the accuracy for remote detection of enemy combatants, MAGID II helps the Corps ensure Marines never get into a fair fight. MCSC’s program office for Marine Intelligence provides integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to Marine intelligence units. Their portfolio includes systems used for the collection, analysis, use and dissemination of various forms of intelligence-related information.
