NREAO to receive Secretary of the Navy’s Environmental Award

Environmental specialists talk to a fuels technician while refueling a land moving tractor during a project to maintain wetlands on a local property owned by Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, June 2. The Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Office was awarded the Secretary of the Navy’s Environmental award for their natural resources conservation projects for the fiscal year of 2016. The environmental specialists are with NREAO, MCAS Beaufort.

Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Ashley Phillips Staff Writer The Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Office received an award for the environmental conservation work performed in Fiscal Year 2016. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place in Washington D.C., June 29. The award to be presented is the Secretary of the Navy’s Environmental Award for Natural Resources Conservation, Large installation. The award is given to military bases to recognize their work protecting and preserving the natural environments of their base. The air station’s NREAO won the award for projects like shoreline restoration, Mulligan Creek conservation, support at Hunting Island State Park, and

maintaining current ecosystems aboard the installation and Townsend Bombing Range, Ga. “Most of what we do is identifying the current ecosystems in place and come up with ways to protect those,” said Gary Herndon, the Natural and Cultural Resources manager with NREAO. “For example, when construction on the new F-35B hangar began, we needed to ensure that we maintained the wetlands in the area. So we began creating wetlands on some of the surrounding property around the air station to counter balance the wetlands we were filling in for the construction.” Many of the projects conducted by NREAO are not easily noticeable, but nonetheless, they are crucial to maintaining the

Military identification cardholders will have an opportunity to gain a new skill as a dental assistant as part of the American Red Cross Dental Assistant Program taking place at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, starting in February 2018. Students enrolled in the program will complete one week of classroom study and 600 hours of chair-side assistance at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) Parris Island Dental Clinic, South Carolina. “When it’s time to start working on their hours we assign them to a doctor. We cover about 22,000 patients annually, we keep them busy.” said Jong Gamboa, Clinic Manager for the Directorate for Dental Services, and Beaufort S.C. native. Requirements for the program include a high school diploma or equivalent, BLS or CPR certification, up-to-date immunizations, must be either a dependent of a service member or retired service member and a U.S. citizen. “This type of training would cost someone anywhere from $6,000 to $8,000 at local colleges, but the

use them now is because they have an expiration date. It also provided good training for some of our new Marines, the ones who are going to be here for the next air show.” The Marines used two different explosives. The first part of the exercise involved the TEXPAK. The Marines mixed the two components of the explosive and taped the bottles together. “One of the reasons we used the TEXPAK is because it is more cost effective,” said Master Sgt. Brian Diaz the staff non-commissioned officer in charge of EOD, MCAS Beaufort. “The military grade explosives we usually are more expensive. The other reason for using these civilian explosives is because this is a pyrotechnic display for the public.” The second type of explosive they used was four gallon bags of fuel laid along a detonation cord to create the wall of fire used in the Marine Air-Ground Task Force demonstration during the air show. Several of the Marines participating in the exercise were either just out of the EOD school or on on-the-job training and were not a part of the 2017 air show. The exercise familiarized them with one of the roles EOD fills for the air station. “As a unit we work with everything from bullets to bombs,” said Diaz. “That also includes pyrotechnic displays for

the public, combined with the rest of the air show, to foster community relations.” According to Diaz, every aspect about their involvement in the air show went according to plan. They were able to successfully create the crowd pleasing ‘wall of fire.’ The cost of all of the materials for the air show was about $6,000. The cost to have a civilian contractor would have been about $10,000. “We were able to save the air station money and get in some good training working with different explosives,” said Diaz. “With this last show everything blew 100% at the exact time we anticipated. In the future for air shows we expect the same result.” The commanding officer, executive officer and other key air show-planning personnel attended the exercise to observe the EOD Marines work. “I think our EOD unit is an integral part of our air show and to the Marine Air- Ground Task Force demonstration,” said Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort. “They bring that realistic aspect of the MAGTF to our fans. Today we were able to clean up from this last air show and set the structure for the next air show. This is a significant mission for the EOD Marines and they are great at what they do.”

natural environment around the air station. “I like to think of it as stewardship,” said Herndon. “We need to take care of what we have. The cultural aspect of my job refers to the preservation of history. Both the current habitat and the historical resources we have here make us who we are. If we don’t preserve those we won’t be the same air station we are today.” For the projects at Hunting Island State Park and shoreline restoration, Marines and contractors from the air station worked to provide clearing and re-nourishing projects to enhance the park and counter balance the nearly fifteen feet of sand eroded by the oceans waves. “A lot of what we do is not in the public eye and most people won’t see it, but it is nice to receive this award,” said Herndon. “We don’t do it for the recognition. For myself and the guys I work with this is a way of life and we are passionate about preserving our environment. We won the award, but it is business as usual. We will continue to identify potential threats to the air station’s environment and come up with a plan to ensure that we maintain the natural resources to support operations aboard MCAS Beaufort.”

5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade Story by Cpl. Shellie Hall 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade

U.S. Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors with Task Force Al-Taqaddum come together with one common mission – advising and assisting the Iraqi security forces of the Anbar Operations Command. “Even though we are not from the same unit and we don’t have history together, we are going to come together with a common mission and work on it to the best of our ability because others are depending on us,” said Col. Christian Cabaniss, the commanding officer of TFTQ. Each branch plays its part in the Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve’s advise and assist mission. However, while attempting to live up to reputations of the Marines who came before them, the Marines from the I and II Marine Expeditionary Forces, currently serving in Iraq, leave their footprints in the Marine Corps’ rich history through their significant actions. “The reputation that the Marine Corps has today – today’s Marines did not earn,” said Cabaniss. “It was built by those generations of Marines who won the great battles of our Corps’ history. We are capable of great things because we stand upon the

shoulders of giants.” While serving as the security force of TFTQ, the Marines of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, attached from Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Central Command, were responsible for providing security and manning the quick reaction force. More importantly, these individuals aided the advise and assist mission as instructors while training with the ISF. While 3/7 Marines supported TFTQ, they improved range facilities in order to warrant more effective training between themselves and Coalition forces. They constructed a live rocket battle drill range, where Marines and other military personnel now have the capability to employ rockets, while previously only being able to fire the AT4, an 84-mm unguided, portable, single-shot recoilless smoothbore weapon. Furthermore, a live hand fragmentation grenade range was completed, providing more high explosive training to the ISF. “It was good to see the young team leaders and squad leaders really start to understand how introduction of a high explosive

into a gunfight affects you or the enemy,” said Gunnery Sgt. Phillip Blackwell, the company gunnery sergeant of Lima Company. “If you do it and leverage it the correct way, you see what it can do for the higher headquarters and their perspective of the battlefield.” As the Marines of Lima Company returned to the U.S., the Marines of Animal Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, attached from the SPMAGTF, assumed the tasks of their counterparts. While Lima Company focused on squad and platoon level tactics with the ISF, the Marines of Animal Company are preparing to take on battalion-level training. Mobile training teams with Task Group Taji, alongside service members with TFTQ, provide operationally relevant training to the ISF through various periods of instruction. A typical two-week course is broken into two portions: one week of urban training and one week of marksmanship. Other courses provided to the ISF include advanced marksmanship, combat lifesaver, and explosive hazard awareness training. “We have a whole menu of courses that the Iraqis can pick from and the

U.S. Marine Corps Col. Christian Cabaniss, the commander of Task Force Al Taqaddum and deployed in support of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, speaks with Italian police officials about the current and future training plans for the Iraqi police and military forces on Al-Taqaddum Air Base, Iraq, April 27, 2017. Deploying U.S. Marines into the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility to conduct combined military training with our partner nations’ security forces strengthens our vital relationships with partners in this strategically important region. This training is part of the overall CJTF-OIR building partner capacity mission by training and improving the capability of partnered forces fighting ISIS. CJTF-OIR is the global Coalition to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

courses come in all shapes and sizes,” said Maj. David Palacio, the Fires and Effects Coordinator of TFTQ. “It has been extremely beneficial to the Iraqis to be able to conduct this training here at what is basically their home base.” When the personnel with TFTQ and Task Group Taji first inherited the training mission, there had only been one or two evolutions of training conducted – that of which served as two parallel efforts. Palacio stated that since then, his team has deeply integrated with Task Group Taji. “We tie in everywhere that we can – in the gym, the chow hall, the field, and back here in the office,” said Palacio. “It’s a really good partnership that we have going.” Today’s fight is unlike those previous where Marine battalions were spread across the area of operations. Now, the Marines are largely confined to military establishments in support of the Iraqis. Therefore, the peace in Iraq is ultimately in the hands of the Iraqi soldiers. With more than 800 Iraqi soldiers trained, the personnel with TFTQ and Task Group Taji hope that their partner forces will utilize the skills they have gained in the future fight and continue training while in their positions. “It’s not just a matter of how many individuals that we can graduate,” said Palacio. “The measure of effectiveness will be how well the forces we train do in those final fights against Da’esh – hopefully to finish off ISIS once and for all.” Three Marines with Firepower Control Team M Detachment, 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, SPMAGTFCR-CC, provided forward observer training to artillery and infantry officers with the 1st, 8th and 10th Iraqi Army Divisions. The progressive two-week course consisted of classroom instruction, which transitioned to observation positions where they

used computer simulators to practice adjusting fires and employing proper communications procedures. In the final days of the course, the Iraqi observers called in live 155mm artillery fire missions supported by the 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division. By utilizing the Iraqi Call for Fire, rather than the U.S. Call for Fire, the Iraqi soldiers became more proficient in their own techniques. A second course was conducted for the Iraqi noncommissioned officers from the same Iraqi divisions. “The two sergeants and one corporal from Firepower Control Team M(-) were able to have an immediate impact on Iraqi Security Force personnel that may employ the new proficiency against ISIS elements in the near term,” said Palacio. The presence of SPMAGTF-CR-CC is seen

across TFTQ and nearly a dozen Marines support daily operations in various sections of TFTQ in addition to Animal Company, 1/7. Palacio stated that without SPMAGTF-CRCC’s support and the help from U.S. Soldiers and Airmen, the Task Force could not function. “We have Marines from California and North Carolina that are shoulder-to-shoulder with soldiers from New Zealand and Australia. If you point us all in the right direction, we will always try to do our best,” said Palacio. Deploying U.S. Marines into the USCENTCOM area of responsibility to conduct combined military training with our partner nations’ security forces strengthens our vital relationships with partners in this strategically important region.
