MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII -- Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 arrived aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii to participate in the Rim of the Pacific Exercise 2014, June 25. Rim of the Pacific is the world’s

largest multinational maritime exercise hosted by the U.S. Pacific Fleet and provides realistic training that increases participants’ abilities to plan, communicate and conduct complex maritime operations. This year’s RIMPAC consists of 23 nations, 49 surface ships, six submarines, and more than 200

aircraft and 25,000 personnel. Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122, currently a part of the Unit Deployment Program with Marine Aircraft Group 12 based out of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, is scheduled to be a part of the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force during the exercise.

7-18. “Any critical situation on an installation which calls for above and beyond your normal military policeman, the SRT teams are called in and they are trained to handle any threat, any situation on that installation,” said Brian Corbin, an instructor with Advanced Training Group, Marine Corps police academy-East. “It gives them a basic understanding of how to operate in a Spe-

cial Reaction Team for the Marine Corps which is an equivalent of a civilian S.W.A.T. team.” Corbin, a native of Seabrook, S.C., is an instructor at the SRT course along with Marines and civilians from the Provost Marshal’s Office at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. During the two-week long training, Marines learned through classroom instruction as well as hands-on instruction including small-arms fire training. At the conclusion of the course, Marines were tested with a two scenarios allowing them

to execute proper tactics and techniques to immobilize their subjects. “We take a simulated bad guy and have the students go in, identify the location of the subject, confront and immobilize the suspect,” explained Corbin. Aside from live-fire familiarization, the training included principles and fundamentals in CloseQuarter Battle, hostage rescue, apprehension and control, and hostage negotiation. “It’s a lot of great skillsets that we are going to take back that we can not only teach to our

Marines but take them with us to other units,” said 2nd Lt. Brian Mcnelis, a military police officer with 4th LEB. “[The course] is refining our skills even more for those urban environments, clearing rooms and searching areas.” According to Mcnelis, the skills taught through the SRT course will assist 4th LEB succeed with slowly increasing advisory roles overseas. “Military police are starting to take on a lot of advisory roles as our enemies and tactics have changed,” said Mcnelis, a 31-year-old native of Dayton,

Ohio. “What we’re doing out in the field, those responsibilities are starting to go to infantry units. A lot of times we’ll augment infantry units to help handle weapons caches, handle high-priority targets if we’re not focused on totally destroying the subject.” The Special Reaction Team aboard MCAS Beaufort is responsible for providing the Air Station commanding officer and the provost marshal with a credible response team for any major situation, such as a terrorist incident or a crisis situation.

Charles Herron, the course instructor and native of Charleston. “They walk away with the basic knowledge of how to respond to a spill properly, and the class provides them with information and training that is site specific.” Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort encompasses over 7,000 acres of land in the South Carolina Lowcountry where the area is known for its agricultural wealth, history and natural beauty. “The base is a unique setting, it handles a lot of fuel surrounded by a pristine environment so whenever there’s a threat, a facility response team is trained up and ready to go,” said Herron. “You learn to take responsibility for spills that may occur at your facility and do what you can for immediate and effective cleanup.” The course trained the students on proper executing a spill contingen-

cy plan, hazmat training and use of equipment to control and contain any contamination over water. “We learned different formations and boats we need to use to contain a fuel spill,” said Lance Cpl. Joshua Nelson, a 20-year-old Aircarft Rescue and Firefighting specialists and native of Dallas, Texas. “We can use a skimmer and booms to contain, divert and pick up some of that oil.” The skimmer, a boat equipped with an oil recovery system, helps filter oil contamination in the water and is one of many assets in the Air Station’s arsenal for protecting the waterways. “Part of Marine Corps mission to not leave a big footprint,” said Herron. “You need to have some people trained up and ready to respond, this area is pristine and needs to be protected.” Due to their expertise in protecting the environment and responding to critical situations, a majority of the course was occupied by Marines with the Air Station’s ARFF section.

“Before I wasn’t familiar at all with fuel on the water but now I’m more proficient,” said Nelson. “[Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting] already responds to spills on the flight line so I couldn’t see anyone else who would be better for this training. According to the Air Station’s fuel division, the primary method of fuel delivery for the Air Station is via barge over the waterways, making the training not only essential but proactive for any Air Station emergency situation. “The Air Station can feel more secure whenever we have barges coming in and feel content knowing that they have someone here that’s trained to deal with any situation that may come,” said Nelson. Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort is dedicated to protecting present and future military mission readiness and capabilities through effective and efficient environment management. As part of this policy, the Air Station conserves both natural and cultural resources as vital Marine Corps assets.

Meeting LS3: Marines experiment with military robotics KAHUKU TRAINING AREA, Hawaii -- The Legged Squad Support System concept has taken five years to develop by Boston Dynamics and $2 million to create. It is now being thrown into the heart of Kahuku Training Area, completely controlled and field tested by five young Marines from India Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. The LS3 is a robotic mule, capable of traversing rugged terrain with Marines while carrying much of their load. It is programmed to follow an operator and detect large terrain objects to maneuver around. The testing for the LS3 is being observed by the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab during the Advanced Warfighting Experiment as part of Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2014, a military multilateral training event featuring 22 nations and roughly 25,000 people. Lance Cpl. Brandon Dieckmann, a Las Vegas native, remembers watching clips of the LS3 on YouTube before he joined the infantry. He said he never would have guessed he would be chosen to operate the machine, which has been affectionately nicknamed “Cujo” by his company. “The reality (that it’s) a walking robot with quadrupedal robotic legs (stood out to me),” Dieckmann said. “They randomly chose us to operate it, probably because I wear glasses.” The LS3 is being used as a logistical tool during RIMPAC as opposed to a tactical tool, due to its loud noise during movement and problems traversing certain terrains. However, the robotic mule is still in development. Dieckmann said creating more space within the LS3 for equipment, like heavy weapons systems, would be beneficial for quicker movement in a field or combat environment. “It would pretty crazy to see a later version of it 15 to 20 years down the line and be able to say I was one of the first groups that tested it and brought it to the field on one of the bigger training exercises,” Dieckmann said.

Marines emerge victorious in World Cup tournament in Afghanistan Marine Corps Outlying Field Camp Davis -- Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 conducted a command and control exercise at Marine Corps Outlying Field Camp Davis as a part of a squadron-wide training event July 14. The squadron went to the field to enhance their operational readiness by establishing a mock forward operating base to conduct forward arming and refueling point operations. Additionally, the engineer company conducted berm construction training, while the squadron’s operations section established a combat operations center to simulate an expeditionary environment, according to Staff Sgt. Darryl Rodriguez, the squadron’s air base ground defense staff noncommissioned officer-in-charge. “Each company within the squadron is conducting their own specific training,” said Rodriguez. “It’s important to ensure each Marine is trained proficiently in their military occupational specialty. We have many new Marines in the squadron that have not yet been in a field environment outside of their initial training. The more time we can spend out here in a simulated deployed environment the more beneficial it will be for the squadron.” The Marines made the most of their time in the field, performing refueling mission throughout each day and late into some evenings. The field environment at Camp Davis helped the Marines understand the importance of teamwork, according to Capt. David Fickle the squadron’s air operations company commander. “Having Marines out in the field is the best way for them to learn their job,” said Fickle. “It allows all the Marines to work together as they would while deployed.” MWSS-274 specializes in expeditionary support for 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. One of its most important capabilities is establishing a FARP to support aviation operations in austere environments, according to Fickle. “The most important thing for the Marines to remember while operating in an austere environment is how dynamic their jobs are,” said Fickle. “The Marines need to work together fluidly while keeping accountability of each other and watching each other’s backs.”

The Marines completed a multitude of live-fire exercises and tested the capabilities of the companies within 4th LAR. This was part of 4th LAR’s annual training, which was the first time since the battalion’s deployment to Afghanistan in 2009 – 2010 that the companies within the battalion worked together.

Army National Training Center Fort Irwin, California -- The Marine Corps is a force in readiness. The 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion proved their readiness during their annual training here, July, 6 20. This year’s annual training brought the entire battalion to the Mojave Desert to conduct exercises such as weapons training, live fire ranges and demolition. The training allowed the battalion to incorporate basic skills developed in previous deployments. “This training is vital for staff that don’t typically get the chance to command and control,” said Lt. Col. Lance Ferrell, the commanding officer of 4th LAR. “It is huge for companies to work together and operate on a larger scale.” As Reserve units, the companies within 4th LAR only meet once a month and two full weeks a year. The companies are spread all around the country in places like Salt Lake City, Utah, Syracuse, New York and Camp Pendleton, California. “Most Marines know their entire companies, but this training allows them to work with Marines from other companies that they don’t

know,” said Sgt. Maj. Michael Pritchard, inspector-instructor sergeant major of 4th LAR. “Being able to integrate will allow the Marines to do their jobs when they deploy, no matter who they work with.” The training at Fort Irwin was not only valuable for combat, but for logistics and communications, explained Ferrell. The battalion had to establish communications throughout the mountains that separated the ranges on Fort Irwin. The large training area gave the Marines a chance to use all of the weaponry available on the LAVs and the chance to use the Mine Clearing Lane Charge. Additionally, the Marines had a chance to fire the M242 Bushmaster chain gun, the M240 machine gun and anti-tank guided missiles. Marines also fired a MICLIC, which consists of a rocket tethered to thousands of pounds of C-4 explosives from an LAV. The MICLIC clears out mines and any obstacles, and gives the LAVs a safe and clear path to travel through. The Marines also fired a man-portable MICLIC that consists of two backpacks that fire a smaller rocket with tethered grenades that makes a safe path for Marines. In addition to the firepower on the LAVs, the scouts had a chance to engage the enemy in live-fire

exercises with the M4 Service Rifle, M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle and M136 AT4 Rocket Launcher. The large training exercise gave the battalion a chance to evaluate the companies on mission essential tasks, explained Ferrell. All of the company’s exercises were carefully evaluated. In addition to the experience the Marines received, the battalion learned the companies’ capabilities. “This is a great learning opportunity for myself and the rest of the Marines out here,” said Cpl. Christian Orosco, a vehicle commander with Company A, 4th LAR. “Hopefully, the Marines will go back to their companies and build training packages from what they learned here.” The annual training concluded with the final exercise that incorporated the capabilities of all the companies as they would be utilized should the battalion deploy to combat again. The company’s abilities were tested and the final exercise tested the battalion’s ability to command and control. “I will know the strengths and weaknesses of every company,” said Ferrell. “I can tell the commanding general [of 4th Marine Division] we are ready. We are at our highest point of readiness.”

LAAD Marines hone patrolling, weapons skills Marine Corps Outlying Field Atlantic -- Alpha Battery, 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion conducted patrolling and military operations on urban terrain training at Marine Corps Outlying Field Atlantic July 7-11 in preparation for security and ground force missions. 2nd LAAD’s primary responsibly is ground-base air defense. The battalion recently was tasked to serve as a security asset for Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 during an upcoming deployment. “We are refreshing our secondary responsibility as a ground combat security force,” said Capt. Matthew Sladek, commanding officer of Alpha Battery. The Marines started their days with a patrol to the MOUT villages where they

trained to assault hostile compounds with mock enemy combatants. “During the past decade, both LAAD battalions have been assigned the task of providing air base ground defense in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Sladek. “Limited room clearing is a role that may need to be met while deployed and that is what the Marines are training on this week.” The Marines used different methods of entry into buildings and trained to perfect their room clearing abilities. Room clearing is when a team of Marines enter a building with high probability of hostile forces in an attempt to neutralize the threat. “The most important thing to remember is communication,” said Sgt. Chris Andrews, a section leader with the battery. “The MOUT town gave us more variety in our training,” said Andrews. “Normally if we wanted to do room clearing back at

(Cherry Point) the best we could work with is barracks rooms and that doesn’t provide much realism.” The training was a change of pace for the battery, allowing them to get away from the monotony of everyday training at the air station, said Cpl. Ryan Lefebvre, a team leader with the battery. “It’s a good switch for us,” said Lefebvre. “The training gives us a chance to practice our entire job, not just the ground-base air defense.” The more practice the battery has, the smoother the movements and techniques will become, said Lefebvre. “A big part of this training was building camaraderie among the Marines, building the brotherhood for which the Marine Corps is known for,” said Andrews. “Having Marines who feel comfortable with each other reinforces unit cohesion and assists in completing the mission.”

Roman Jokhadze, Deputy Chief of General Staff of Georgia. “Thank you for the great effort you have made from your great countries. We are so honored that we were fighting shoulder to shoulder with our coalition partners and to make life better here in Afghanistan.” This year marked the 13th rotation and final deployment for the Georgian army with RC(SW). Since their mission first began, more than 11,000 Georgian soldiers have deployed to the country. Throughout their deployments to southwestern Afghanistan, 29 soldiers were killed in action, 435 have been wounded in action, 35 of whom are amputees. “It is impossible to not talk about our soldiers who we have lost during this mission,” said Jokhadze. “Their legacy will stay in our hearts for all times. We will continue in our fighting to honor their legacy here in Afghanistan.” The ceremony concluded with the lowering of the Georgian flag symbolizing Georgia’s mission with RC(SW) had come to an end.

Australian, Mexican militaries conduct SWET during RIMPAC MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII -- Australian Army and Mexican Naval Infantry Force service members conducted shallow water egress training at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii pool, July 1, as part of the 2014 Rim of the Pacific exercise. During the training, participants learned to breathe compressed air and exit a cage while submerged upside down under water, simulating the experience of being in a downed aircraft. This helps prepare service members for maritime operations and fl ights over water. The training also provided an opportunity for the three participating nations to interact and build relationships. “It’s good to see the way different countries operate,” said Mexican Naval Infantry Force Lt. Manuel Santibanez, with the 5th Battalion Infantry Section.“We can take what we learn here back with us. It is important to build relationships so if we combine forces in the future we will have worked together already.” SWET training is one portion of RIMPAC’s Harbor Phase, the first of a threephased schedule. For ground forces, the Harbor Phase also includes live-fire ranges, helicopter operations, military operations on urban terrain and classroom instruction. The group will also participate in the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab’s Advanced Warfighting Experiment where multinational company-sized landing teams will conduct multiple training evolutions across the Hawaiian Islands using experimental military equipment to test practical usage in urban, water and jungle environments. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC, a biennial, multinational maritime exercise held in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

choice for immediate crisis response across the range of military operations. “As an F/A-18 squadron, we don’t get a lot of chances to work with Marine Expeditionary Units or MAGTF’s,” said Maj. Dail T. Fields, operations officer with VMFA-122. “So we are really excited to be out here and provide some close air support.” Throughout the exercise, VMFA-122 plans to get back to their bread and butter, which is close air support and working with the service members on the ground, said DeWolfe. “I can’t tell you how great it is when you’re on the radio with the guys on the ground and dropping live ordnance for them,” said Fields. “It’s always stressful when you are dropping live bombs, so this a great experience and training opportunity.” With RIMPAC being the largest exercise VMFA-122 has participated in, DeWolfe said he believes his squadron will continue to impress their peers and superiors. “These Marines and Sailors work hard and are professional in all that they do,” said DeWolfe. “They will rise to the occasion and exceed expectations.”

HONOLULU - Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 conducted Dissimilar Air Combat Training against the 199th Fighter Squadron while aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii for Rim of the Pacific Exercise 2014, July 1. Rim of the Pacific is the world’s largest multinational maritime exercise hosted by the U.S. Pacific Fleet and provides realis-

tic training that increases participants’ abilities to plan, communicate and conduct complex maritime operations. The 199th Fighter Squadron is with the Hawaii National Guard 154th Wing based out of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The DACT training included the F/A-18C Hornet, used by VMFA-122 and the F-22 Raptor, used by the 199th. “For any pilot, you often

train more with the same type, model and series of aircraft your unit uses, so it’s a valuable opportunity to train with another service and another aircraft,” said Marine Capt. Cody P. Buras, a pilot with VMFA122. “You get to see its capabilities and limitations and really test your own aircraft, which is something you can’t really get when fighting the same aircraft you fly.” The Raptor, a fifth generation aircraft, is a com-

bination of stealth, supercruise, maneuverability and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, which represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities, according to www.154wg.ang.af.mil. “You hear a lot of stories about the Raptor and about their capabilities; to see it perform was pretty cool,” said Marine Capt. Christopher Collins, a pilot with VMFA-122. “It was great as a fourth genera-

tion pilot to perform on a fifth generation platform.” Although it was a fourth generation aircraft, those manufactured during the 1970s and 1980s, against a fifth generation aircraft, those made from 2005 until the present, Buras believes the F/A-18 held its own during the training. “I think we did fairly well, which is pretty good considering the capabilities of the F-22 and never having fought an aircraft of that level before,” said

Buras. According to Collins, the capabilities of an aircraft can only go so far, and in the end, it’s the man in the machine that matters most. “There are some great pilots in the F-22 community,” said Collins. “I was impressed, to say the least. It’s great to know the Air Force trains their pilots to a high standard and are flying a really great aircraft, but so are we.”

VMFAT-501 receives first F-35B

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Public Affairs Office

The first F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501(VMFAT-501) arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, July 17. The aircraft is the first to join VMFAT-501 at MCAS Beaufort since relocating from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. late last week. The squadron was temporarily located at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., in order to allow infrastructure upgrades to support VMFAT-501’s mission aboard MCAS Beaufort. Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 commenced operations with the F-35B aboard Eglin AFB in May 2012. “The F-35 is the most advanced fighter in the world,” said Lt. Col. Joseph Bachmann, the commanding officer of Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 and F-35B pilot whom piloted the aircraft into Beaufort. “The best part about this airplane getting here today is for the Marines to start working on completing the maintenance training and getting ready to start organic operations within the end of the year.” The F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter will replace the Marine Corps’ aging legacy tactical fleet. In addition to replacing the F/A-18A-D Hornet, the Marine Corps

will replace the AV-8B Harrier and EA-6B Prowler, essentially necking down to one common tactical fixed-wing aircraft. The integration of the F-35B/C strike fighters will provide the dominant, multi-role, fifth-generation capabilities needed across the full spectrum of combat operations to deter potential adversaries and enable future naval aviation power projection. The F-35B’s Short Takeoff Vertical Landing (STOVL) capability will allow the Marine Corps to operate in harsh conditions and from remote locations where few airfields are available for conventional aircraft. It is also specifically designed to operate from amphibious ships—a capability that no other tactical aircraft possesses. “Today marks a new chapter in Marine Corps aviation,” said Lt. Col. Patrick Fitzgerald, the executive officer of MCAS Beaufort. “We’re extremely proud of all the Marines, sailors and civilians that made it possible for the F-35 to touchdown today in Beaufort and call it home. “We must remember that our adversaries mean to do us harm so it is very important for us to stay one step ahead of our enemies on the cutting edge of technology in order to support our warfighters.” Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort is the Marine Corps’ only F-35B training site, allowing the Navy to expand F-35C training capacity at Eglin AFB.
