Col. Peter D. Buck relinquished command of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to Col. Timothy P. Miller aboard MCAS Beaufort, July 7. The change of command ceremony was held in the air station gym. The families of the outgoing and incoming commanding officers and the commanding general of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, Maj. Gen. Matthew Glavy, were all in attendance of the change of command ceremony. “I couldn’t be any more grateful for the ceremony held by the Marines,” said Buck. “So many Marines and sailors

took time out their day to help with this ceremony, and all their hard work paid off. As for the future of this command, I have nothing but the highest faith in Col. Miller. He is an exemplary leader and I know he will take care of the Marines and sailors here.” Buck entered the United States Marine Corps in May 1987, after graduating from Concordia University. Buck was assigned to Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163 where he served as the Ground Safety Officer and Flight Line Officer. With VMM-163, he completed two Western Pacific deployments with the 11th and 15th Ma-

Marines can shape their future: MMEA to visit Beaufort Story by: Lance Cpl. Benjamin McDonald Staff Writer

Headquarters Marine Corps is scheduled to visit Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, July 14. The Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments Command visits annually to educate Marines on the needs of the Marine Corps for that fiscal year. The visit also gives enlisted Marines the chance to speak to their Primary Military Occupational Specialty Monitor about their careers. “The MMEA visit is one of the most important events for enlisted Marines this fiscal year,” said Staff Sgt. Omar Caraballo-Pietri, the career planner for Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron. “This meeting will give the enlisted Marines the chance to learn about the administrative side of their MOS. After the MMEA visit, the Marines will understand the factors that go into their careers like boat spaces in their MOS, re-enlistment bonuses, and bonuses for special duty assignments as referenced in MARADMIN 350/17.” The visit is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. with a First Term Alignment Plan brief at the base theater. The 45-minute brief is geared toward first term Marines and

talks about retention opportunities. The second brief is the Enlisted Manpower Overview Brief at 9 a.m. at the base theater. The manpower brief is geared toward officers, sergeants major, and Staff non-commissioned officers and talks about retention and manpower management programs and policies. Marines will also have the opportunity to speak with their MOS monitors at the Bachelor Officer Quarters throughout the day. “These Briefs and interviews will be instrumental for the Marines,” said Caraballo-Pietri. “I did not have the opportunity to sit down with my monitor and discuss the possibilities of my Marine Corps career. I strive to make sure the Marines here know how much this visit can help them whether they get out in four years or plan to stay in for 20.”

Story by: Sgt. Jonah Lovy Since opening its doors in 1949, Naval Hospital Beaufort has supported the service members in the Tri-command with exemplary medical treatment. The hospital provides medical, surgical, and emergency services to active duty personnel in the Tri-command area. The hospital maintains a Branch medical clinic aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as well as Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. The hospital also serves retired military personnel and all military dependents residing in the Beaufort area for a total of approximately 35,000 beneficiaries According to beaufortsc.org, the site of Naval Hospital Beaufort was originally the John Joiner Smith Plantation, which included Camp Saxton, a Civil War Garrison, and Fort Frederick, both recognized as National Historical sites. The first federally-authorized

African American unit to fight for the Union during the Civil War, known as The First South Carolina Volunteers was camped at this site. On January 1, 1863, General Rufus Saxton assembled a large populace on this site for one of the earliest readings of the Emancipation Proclamation. An annual reenactment of the reading is held at the Camp Saxton site, along with a Civil War encampment. Fort Frederick was built by the English in 1735 as a stronghold against hostile threats to the Beaufort area. Native Americans occupied the majority of the area, and the Spanish settlers resided to the south. Today, the remains of its walls stand within the Naval Hospital compound as a duly designated historical monument. During the Civil War, the site became a garrison named Camp Shaw. Naval Hospital Parris Island opened in 1891 and operated until 1949 when it was

renamed Naval Hospital Beaufort. Its first patient was admitted on May 5, 1949. According to the website, Naval Hospital Beaufort is one of only a few military facilities recognized as a complete military compound, rather than a tenant of a larger command. Located within the grounds are 53 family housing single-story units, two Bachelor Enlisted Quarters, a Navy Exchange Retail store, a gas station, and mini mart with package store. This command also has its own complete Public Works facility. Recreational facilities include two softball fields, swimming pool, lighted tennis and basketball courts, outdoor fitness course, a gym, fishing pier and a children’s playground. Attractions on the Naval Hospital grounds include Naval Heritage Park, featuring giant live oak trees, and the historic tabby—seashell and mortar—ruins of Fort Frederick.

Avengers assemble: Marine Corps, Air Force F-35s come together for ground-breaking exercise Story and photos by: Sgt. Lillian Stephens Marine Corps Air Station Miramar / 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing

Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211 “Wake Island Avengers,” 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, began participating in Red Flag 17-3 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, July 10. During the exercise, which will continue until July 28, VMFA-211 will conduct a variety of mission sets alongside the other services: defensive counter air (DCA); offensive counter air (OCA); suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD); destruction of enemy air defense; dynamic taskings, which involve finding a time-sensitive target or series of targets and eliminating them; electronic warfare (EW); preplanned strikes; and combat search and rescue (CSAR). “Red Flag 17-3 is designed to be a venue for U.S. forces to integrate on a scale that’s not possible anywhere else -- so Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Army assets come from all over the United States and participate in advanced mission sets together,” said Maj. Paul Holst, VMFA-211’s executive officer. “It’s ... important to practice integrating assets from all across the [Armed Forces’] inventory because if we go to conflict, we don’t want that to be the first time we all integrate with each other.” Red Flag is the U.S. Air Force’s premier realistic combat training exercise involving the air, ground, space and cyber forces of the United States -- sometimes including assets from allied nations. This iteration includes only the U.S. Armed Forces and will focus on improving individual performance as well as interoperability be-

tween the services. According to Holst, this is the first time the F-35A Lightning II, used by the Air Force, and F-35B Lightning II, the short-takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variant used by the Marine Corps, will participate in the same exercise as well as the Avenger’s first time attending Red Flag. “This is the first time we’ve deployed on this scale ... we brought 10 F-35s here with all of our maintenance equipment, all of our support equipment and personnel,” said Holst. “For the pilots, the opportunity to participate in these exercises prepares us for combat … and the opportunity to integrate and plan with the rest of the force is something you just don’t get anywhere else.” Maj. Chris Brandt, a pilot and administration and logistics officer in charge with VMFA-211, said Red Flag’s large-scale missions, which often involve upwards of 50 aircraft working in concert, prepare pilots for combat operations and prepare maintenance personnel for a deployed operational tempo. “A lot of times at home station, we’re basically working just with each other or we’re doing things that are [smaller in] scale and only focusing on our specific mission sets that we do,” said Brandt. “When we actually deploy, we’re most likely going to be part of a joint force so coming here you get that experience. It’s not until you come to exercises like these that you get to train across services and [train] with platforms that you typically would not work with at your home station.” Throughout the exercise, more than 50 units and more than 80 aircraft will participate in Red Flag,

Red Flag 17-3 is a realistic combat training exercise involving the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps and this iteration is the first to have both the Air Force’s F-35A Lightning II and the Marine Corps’ F-35B Lightning II, which is capable of short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL).

conducting missions in the Nevada Test and Training Range -- the U.S. Air Force’s premier military training area. It has more than 12,000 square miles of airspace, 2.9 million acres of land and has 1,900 possible targets, realistic threat systems and an opposing enemy force, a training environment that is unmatched anywhere else in the world. According to Holst, Red Flag allows each service and subordinate unit to demonstrate their capabilities as well as understand the capabilities of other services, units and their equipment. “For example, the E-18G exists in the Navy and the Air Force doesn’t really have a comparable asset to that. There may be situations where the only F-35s in theater are Marine Corps F-35s ... and you have to integrate the F-35s into the entire package,” said Holst. “It’s always going to be necessary to bring everyone’s assets together and practicing that is

really important.” From the different services to subordinate units and even to individual service members, Red Flag is an opportunity for them to experience advanced, relevant and realistic combat situations in a controlled environment, increasing their ability to complete missions and safely return home. “I think we’ll gain a lot. We learn from them, they learn from us and at the end we come out with better tactics, better knowledge of the airplane and how to employ it,” said Brandt. “The missions that we’ll fly here are things that many of us haven’t done in this aircraft before, especially with the number of airplanes that are out there. That will be good from a tactical and aviation perspective. It’s going to be interesting to see how everybody from all of the services work together.”

Air Medal (Numeral “1”), the Joint Service Commendation Medal, and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. After the opening drill movements, Buck relinquished his duties as commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort to Miller. Per tradition, the sergeant major of MCAS Beaufort took the Station Colors and handed them to Buck. Then Buck presented the colors to Miller. Accepting the Station Colors symbolized the taking of responsibility of MCAS Beaufort. Miller was commissioned as a Marine Corps officer in May 1994 via the Platoon Leaders Course at Bucknell University where he earned a B.S. in accounting.

Miller’s operational assignments include; Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Miller was the executive officer of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 162, and Commanding Officer of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 363. Miller’s personal decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with gold star, Air Medal with Strike/Flight Numeral 9, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with gold star and the Navy and Marine Corps

I promise you, that will not change as I take command. I am going to hold you to the same high standards as Buck did and I know as we transition together, we will do great things for this air station and the Marine Corps.” After relinquishing command, Buck retired from the Marine Corps after 30 years of faithful service.
