Did you know... Nov. 27, 1950, in a carefully planned assault, eight Chinese Communist divisions in Korea launched a massive attack which had as its expressed purpose, the destruction of the 1st Marine Division. This action led to the successful southward Marine Corps attack out of the Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir to the coastal port of Hungnam.

Christians and politics part II Cmdr. Bill Holiman
MCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain
The last time I wrote an article for you the theme was that Christians are to be conscientious citizens of the state whether or not we approve of the government. Sometimes we have to say that the government is wrong, but even when we do, we are to be conscientious. This time we are going to say a little bit more about what the Bible says the government is supposed to do. Paul’s second point in Romans 13 is the ministry of the government; just what is the state supposed to be doing. He says about the government: 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. The state is God’s authority to do us good. It is God’s servant, an agent of wrath, to bring punishment on evil doers, and the government is to commend those who do well. Because, says v. 6, the authorities are God’s servants who give their full time to governing. These are striking statements. Paul in Greek uses the very words that we use in Church; he uses the Greek words for deacons and for liturgy to describe what the state does. Despite the powerful and vocal
objections of the officer on the WASP “those who serve the state as legislators, civil servants, magistrates, police, social workers, or tax-collectors are just as much ‘ministers of God’ as those who serve the church as pastors, teachers, evangelists or administrators.” John Stott again. The ministry is so much more than just preaching in a church! The MP on the beat who prevents you and me from being beaten up and robbed by bad guys is in the ministry, too. The Marine who fights to protect this country from bad guys is in the ministry! The Sailor and the Coast Guardsman who fight piracy or rescue stranded Sailors at sea are in the ministry. The other day when BGEN Terry
assigned to it of bringing punishment on evil doers and rewarding those who do good. That is why we pay taxes, so the government has resources to do that. Most of us remember from our history classes when government had no money, such as in the Revolutionary War. That made life hard for everyone, the soldiers and the civilians on the home front. It was to deal with this very issue that eventually the US Constitution was developed. The US needed a way to pay its debts and have a central government able to govern the country. If anyone objects that government ought not to be involved in questions of good and evil, I can only smile and say that government is always involved in questions of good and evil. There aren’t any other questions that government deals with in real life. Why is murder outlawed? Because it is bad! Why do we make all the rules that we make? Because we believe that it is good to do so, and bad not to do so. So the summary of the matter is this, it is - Cmdr. Bill Holiman perfectly ok for Christians to participate in the government, even one with a terrible Williams gave a Congressional Gold Medal to head like Nero. We are to be conscientious our Chapel member Mrs. Ella Jackson he was citizens. And from this article we see that doing the ministry of God. He was reward- government is supposed to reward good ing the good. He was overcoming evil with and punish evil. Civil servants, cops, Marines good. and those who work for the government are Now I know that this part can sound awful- engaged in a ministry from God, even SGT ly triumphal, but the fact is that I serve in the MAJ when she yells at us from doing the US Navy because I believe in what the Navy wrong things. stands for and does. When the recruiting tag, There is one part that you might wonder “A global force for good” came out a few years about: Paul does not tell us what is evil and ago I know a lot of people didn’t like it. But I good in this passage. That is a topic for anliked it. It expresses what God’s vision of the other day! But for now, we should realize government is all about. Government is sup- that government has important functions posed to be a force for good. It has a ministry that we cannot do without.
“Why do we make all the rules that we make? Because we believe that it is good to do so, and bad not to do so. ”

Thanksgiving Message For nearly 151 years, Americans have gathered the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for past and present blessings and those yet to come. It is one of the ironies of history that the Thanksgiving holiday was officially established in the midst of our nation’s bloodiest conflict: the Civil War. Just as Abraham Lincoln and his union troops did all those years ago, the Marine Corps will once again pause and reflect on the meaning of giving-thanks dur-
ing a time of sustained war. Please know that each of you - Marines, sailors, family members, and civilians - is a blessing to the marine corps and to this great nation, and we remain in your debt for your service and sacrifice. This Thanksgiving, it is important that we take time to appreciate the countless blessings and freedoms we, as Americans Enjoy. In doing so, I ask that you take care of yourselves and those around you. Too
many of our Marine and Navy families have suffered senseless deaths that could have been prevented with proper attention. Know your people, know their Thanksgiving plans, and stay engaged. Sound advice can be the difference between right and wrong decisions. The long holiday weekend should be a period of Thanksgiving, not a time of mourning. Enjoy the time off, but do so wisely and safely. Semper fidelis.

Tri-Command children celebrated the Marine Corps’ 239th anniversary during the Children’s Marine Corps Birthday Ball Celebration at the All-Weather Training Facility aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Nov. 15. Unlike other Marine Corps Balls this one allows Marines to celebrate and share the occasion with their children. During the event, Marines and their families
eat, play games, and conduct ceremonial traditions such as the oldest and youngest cake cutting with the children. “In the past two years, it has been difficult for me to take my family out and spend quality time with them,” said Staff Sgt. Thomas McQuade, a base facilities manager for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. “Two years ago I was stationed on Camp Pendleton, Ca., and was on a constant deployment rotation. During my three years stationed in California, I was de-
ployed and away from my wife and twin newborn children more often than not. I missed out on a lot. Events like this allow me to share why I wasn’t with them when they were younger and show them a bit more of what I do on a daily basis.” Roxanne Farr, the Lifestyle, Insights, Networking, Knowledge, and Skills program trainer with Marine Corps Family Team Building on Parris Island, says this event is a great way for Marines and their families to spend quality time and share the Marine
Corps Birthday Ball traditions with their children. “Events like this incorporate both fun and games for kids while providing Marines with the opportunity to share what they do when they go to the Marine Corps Ball, such as the cake cutting ceremony, with their children,” Farr said. “It also shows children a piece of Marine Corps life, customs and traditions.” The ceremony featured obstacle courses, face painting, coloring, bounce houses, Marine Corps pugil stick training for
children, a modified combat fitness test, and a military working dogs demonstration. “This event is a great opportunity for Marines to spend quality time with their spouses and kids and become closer as a family,” McQuade said. “It got my kids asking questions about what I do and understanding that I can’t always be around, I might have to deploy and some of the traditions we as Marines hold dear. I look forward to this event next year and would recommend it to all families.”

here in Beaufort,” said Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer of the Air Station. “With the arrival of the Joint Strike Fighter aboard the Air Station, and the significant amount of military construction that has gone into facilitating the F-35’s arrival and realizing the aviation campaign plan for the Marine Corps, we can show other installation commanders the future of Marine aviation.” The mission of the MIB is to address all areas of installation support to ensure optimum, consistent support to warfighters and the Marine Air Ground Task Force, and quality of life support for Marines, sailors, and their families. The MIB also guides the longrange vision for base infrastructure by assessing and shaping installations.

“With help from our fellow commands and installations we can lower the Marine Corps budget as a whole,” said Col. Yori Escalante, the deputy commander for Marine Corps Installations East. “Installation commanders within Marine Corps Installations East, as well as the Marine Corps as a whole, have to keep open lines of communication so we can support one another to continuously improve our installations budgets and accomplish tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meetings such as the MIB ensure the Marine Corps Operating Forces receive the highest possible levels of installation services and support to maintain the warfighting readiness of the Marine Corps. “The Air Station has put its best foot forward and has done a great job,” Buck said. “I’m proud of all my Marines and thank all of those that helped organize and support this event.”

Santa’s Mailbox open for business Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer
As the season turns colder and frost prickles at the ground each morning, Santa Claus prepares toys for the winter holidays in the hearts and imaginations of children across the United States. The libraries aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island help get their hopeful letters answered with Santa’s Mailbox, from Nov. 24 until Dec. 15. “Santa’s mailbox gets children into the Christmas spirit and gets them excited,” said Donna Humphreys, a library technician at the Air Station library. “It also helps them work on their writing skills and penmanship, and it’s just fun.” Children should include their name and address just in case Santa’s elves write a letter back. Traditions and culture are an integral part of the Marine Corps and the heritage of the United States, and traditions like this one can also open doors to resources. “It’s a way for us to get them into the library if they’ve never been here before and show what we have to offer,” said Humphreys. For more information, contact the Air Station library at 228-6131 or the Parris Island library at 228-1671.
The Hero Tree Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer
Posted in the library aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort resides a lit tree, branches adorned with faces from the past and present who shaped our future. The tree is called the Hero Tree, and it commemorates those who have died in the line of duty and those who serve for the freedom of others. “The children love to bring their parent’s pictures and put them on the tree,” said Sharon Cooper, a library technician aboard the Air Station. “It’s important for them to be recognized and know that they’re appreciated.” White lights on the tree honor the dead who gave their lives in combat, and tidy yellow ribbons are tied onto branches as well-wishes for all service members to come home safely. Hero trees are part of a national, year-round initiative which started in 2005. The initiative focuses on honoring troops of all ages and services through sharing in community spirit and patriotic pride. For more information call 228-6131 or 228-1671.

Corps BIts TREXS 15.2 showcases response capabilities IZU OSHIMA ISLAND, Japan – Crowds gather to watch an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft land in the middle of a baseball field. The rear exit ramp lowers and U.S. Marines working with Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force members and Japanese volunteers from the local hospital and fire departments quickly move 600 pounds of disaster aid supplies from the aircraft onto a truck waiting nearby. An ambulance drives to the side of the now empty Osprey which becomes a scene of controlled chaos as simulated patients are moved inside it on stretchers. Within eight minutes the entire process is completed and the aircraft lifts off and speeds away into the sky, showing the groups’ combined capability to respond to a crisis. Members of the Northeastern Army, JGSDF and U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263, assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force, participated in Tomodachi relief exercise 15.2 Nov. 6-9 across multiple area in Japan. TREX 15.2 is an annual, bilateral training exercise that simulates a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief response in Japan. The exercise showcases the response capabilities of the bilateral force and provides a clear demonstration of the capabilities of assets such as the Osprey to the government of Japan while strengthening the U.S. and Japanese alliance. The exercise included an HADR training mission, a simulated casualty evacuation, and an Osprey flight demonstration for several Japanese officials, including the Japanese Minister of Defense, as well as a static display. The demonstration portion of the exercise consisted of volunteers from the Oshima Fire Department, JGSDF members, and U.S. Marines performing a supply drop and simulated casualty evacuation. Because there may not be easily accessible airfields during a real disaster, the Osprey landed on a baseball field, designated Landing Zone Oshima, where members of the three organizations could easily work together to unloaded necessities including water jugs, food pallets, medical aid supplies, and blankets. Following the offload of supplies, an ambulance quickly pulled to the side of the Osprey and simulated patients were loaded and secured for transport. The exercise was extremely successful in providing the opportunity to further perfect response plans and demonstrate capabilities that will result lives being saved.
SECDEF visits Integrated Task Force Marines MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel visited Marines with the Anti-Armor Section, Weapons Company, Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force during a Mk-153 shoulder-launched multipurpose assault weapon (SMAW) live-fire at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Nov. 18. Marines with Anti-Armor Section were conducting a four-day SMAW live-fire, where anti-tank missilemen (MOS 0352) were cross training with assaultmen (MOS 0351) in order to qualify on the SMAW. “The SMAW live-fire ranges help with the muscle memory of the weapon, and apply the basics of what we’ve learned at ITB (Infantry Training Battalion),” said Cpl. Janelle A. Lopez, assaultman with Anti-Armor Section, Weapons Co., GCEITF. “This is my first time in the field as an (assaultman), and for this training, all the missilemen are learning what the assaultmen learn.” The Secretary of Defense observed three two-Marine teams fire the rocket launcher. Lopez and Cpl. Rebecca A. Floto, assaultman, Anti-Armor Section, Weapons Co., GCEITF, served as gunners during the firing of the SMAW. “There was a little pressure to hit the target, but I hit the target,” said Floto. “I just wanted to make a good impression to show that we’re doing very well here.” Initiated by a Team Leader’s fire command, the Marines with the Anti-Armor Section first fired the 9mm spotting rifle in order to confirm the range to the designated target. Once confirmed, the Marines were then able to fire the High Explosive Dual Mode (HEDM) rocket with a higher degree of accuracy. During the Marines’ duration out in the field, regardless of whether they were firing the rocket or conducting dry runs in the cold weather, Floto said she enjoys her job as an assaultman. From October 2014 to July 2015, the GCEITF will conduct individual and collective level skills training in designated ground combat arms occupational specialties in order to facilitate the standards based assessment of the physical performance of Marines in a simulated operating environment performing specific ground combat arms tasks.
Service members and civilians attended a sunset ceremony honoring the CH-46E Sea Knight at the Pacific Aviation Museum aboard Ford Island, Nov. 6, 2014. The Marine Corps will finish phasing out the Sea Knight by next year. The aircraft at the ceremony is now part of the museum’s aircraft collection.
Marines bid ‘aloha’ to Phrog
Lance Cpl. Olivia McDonald II Marine Expeditionary Force
FORD ISLAND, Hawaii — Active and retired service members took pictures and reminisced in front of a lone CH-46E Sea Knight, standing in front of Hangar 79 at the Pacific Aviation Museum, Nov. 6. Military personnel and guests gathered to say goodbye as the Marine Corps phases out the “Phrog” by 2015. Coincidentally, the Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 took their last flight with the CH-46E at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Oct. 29. Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 164 will retire its Sea Knights in April 2015, and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 774 will follow later in the year. The Sea Knight at the ceremony was one of two that came to Hawaii via the USS Peleliu during the 2014 Rim of the Pacific exercise, June 25. The second Sea Knight is at Marine Corps Base Hawaii and will eventually join the static aircraft displays by the base front gate. The CH-46 Sea Knight was introduced in the 1960s, and used by the Purple Foxes of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364, which was re-designated in October as VMM-364. Several models were used, including the most recent CH-46E Sea Knight. The CH-46E is 84 feet, 4 inches long and weighs more than 12,000 pounds. The aircraft is capable of carrying more than 11,000 pounds of supplies or personnel. “(The Sea Knight is) absolutely a tremendous aircraft, very well designed,” said Capt. Ed Romagnoli, a UH-1Y pilot with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 attending the ceremony. “As old as it
was it has some design features that are still more impressive than some of the new aircraft that we have now. It’s going to be missed by the Marine Corps as a reliable, dependable platform.” Romagnoli, of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., flew a CH-46E from September 2009 through July 2012 when he was stationed with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 268 at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. While flying the Sea Knight, Romagnoli said the unit accomplished many missions such as fast-rope rappelling and combat resupply. As the Marine Corps redesigned the Sea Knight over the years, the aircraft became heavier and used more fuel. As a result, the Marines had to plan more carefully when it came to carrying troops or supplies. He said pilots would have to sacrifice either amount of time in an area or how much cargo they could take. Romagnoli said he can take his experiences working with the CH-46 and apply them to his missions as he flies UH-1Y Hueys. Romagnoli said although the MV-22 Osprey is officially replacing the Sea Knight, the UH-1Y Huey will also provide support in missions. “Together they’re going to fill the gap that’s left by the 46s,” Romagnoli said. Lt. Gen. John Toolan, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific commanding general, thanked the Pacific Aviation Museum for hosting the ceremony. “I don’t know much about the Phrog’s specifications,” Toolan said. “(But) I can tell you a lot about the feeling of an infantryman when he hears that Phrog coming overhead. In most cases he knows he going to get out of a hotspot ... Those Phrog pilots came into the hottest zones because they knew they were needed.”
Toolan said modern Marines also have the same feeling when they got a ride from a Sea Knight after training for weeks out in the field. “It’s a beautiful sight to see that Phrog come in saying ‘Hey, guys, you’re not walking home, you’re flying home,” Toolan said. “It’s an amazing aircraft.” Col. Sean “Kidd” Killeen, who once served as commanding officer of HMM364 during Operation Iraqi Freedom also made remarks at the ceremony. He shared multiple stories about the CH-46s journey into combat zones, including one about Pat Donovan, a then-Marine lieutenant who received two Navy Crosses and one Silver Star for flying his Sea Knight into combat, picking up injured Marines during the Vietnam War. “In a moment, we will bless this helicopter in the native Hawaiian tradition,” said Killeen, referring to the static aircraft behind him. I would offer to the chaplain that although your blessing with water is humbly accepted; the blood of Marines who have been (medically evacuated) have already sanctified this aircraft. For those who have set the standard, for those who carry it and future aviators who will receive it; God bless and Semper Fidelis.” Jay Dunn and Grady Geske, both former Marines and CH-46 pilots, untied the maile lei, and Kahu Kordell Kekoa blessed the aircraft. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Romagnoli said of his experience flying the Phrog. “I loved the experience. I loved the squadron I was with, I loved the mission that I was able to do. It was great to be a part of that culture and the backbone of Marine Corps aviation for the last 50 years.”

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. - The air was filled with anticipation as service members and civilians stood by, watching as Sgt. Maj. Karl Villalino, Combat Center Sergeant Major, aimed an M14 service rifle from the 1,000-yard firing line. After a few seconds, the sergeant major pulled on the trigger slow and steady, and fired the first round of the 55th Annual High Desert Regional Shooting Competition, Nov. 13. “I am absolutely honored to take this first shot,” said Villalino. “This is what Marines do.” The competition is a four-day competition in which service members and civilians compete with rifles and pistols in both team and individual matches. “This competition has been going on one year longer than the inter-service competition,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Duane Ledford, Combat Center Shooting Team. “The interservice competition is where all
the services come together and compete with the service rifle from 200 to 1,000 yards.” The event started with the individual 1,000-yard competition. On the second day, participants competed in the team 1,000-yard competition. On the third day, the 200, 300 and 600yard competitions for both individuals and teams were held. “The last day is where the shooters work toward their Excellence in Competition, where individuals can earn points toward becoming a distinguished marksman,” Ledford said. Being a distinguished marksman allows Marines to replace their traditional shooting badges with the distinguished shooter medal. Participants receive points through getting medals in events like the High Desert Regional Shooting Competition. Staff Sgt. Wayne Gallagher is the head coach of the base shooting team. This year he received four new members. “Last year, I trained all the older members of the club,” Gallagher said. “This year, I had
the guys I trained help train the new members, so they can have the techniques reinforced in them as they teach the skills they learned.” Gallagher encouraged the team to focus on the team aspect of competitions rather than the individual portion. The difference between the individual and the team matches is during the team matches, the team can coach the person firing and tell him what they believe will get
the shooter a better score. In the individual match, the competitor is left alone. “The team uses the individual competition to prepare themselves for the team matches,” Gallagher said. “They take the individual matches to find what they need to do to improve for the team matches.” After the four days of shooting, the competition was concluded.

PENANJONG GARRISON, Brunei Darussalam – Royal Brunei Land Force service members and U.S. Marines train for military operations on urban terrain during exercise Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training Nov. 13 at the Penanjong Garrison. CARAT 2014 is a nine-country, bilateral exercise series between the U.S., Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Timor-Leste. “MOUT training is very important, because most combat takes in today’s world takes place in urban areas,” said RBLF Lt. Syuiab Hjmeraj, a platoon commander with 1st Battalion, RBLF. “This training is a big adjustment for us, because our main focus was jungle warfare before this.” Throughout the course of the week, U.S. Marines trained with RBLF service members in MOUT tactics, techniques and procedures that have been developed and refined following several years of urban warfare. They participated in classes covering topics such as learning to clear entire buildings, and how to do so through windows and doorways, as well as by moving through individual rooms. “MOUT was largely introduced to the
Corps BIts
Marine Corps in Vietnam and became a priority during the war in Iraq which saw Marines going from building to building,” said U.S. Marine Sgt. Jordan M. Nold, a squad leader with 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment currently attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. “[This training provides] a three-dimensional look at an urban environment, and gives us the ability to effectively clear an area in all dimensions on the streets, in the buildings, on the rooftops and anywhere else that there may be a threat.” The bilateral training provided all the service members involved the opportunity to compare tactics and techniques to further improve on current methods and develop new ways of operating, according to U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Luke A. Racavich, a rifleman with 2nd Bn., 9th Marines. “Looking at the way we normally do MOUT and comparing with the way someone else does it, is probably one of the best ways to learn these kinds of tactics,” said Racavich, a rifleman with
Marines with 15th MEU complete security element course U.S. MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Marines in the security element course posted 360 degrees of security on Nov. 6, waiting for the signal to move to their next position. This raid would be the culmination of all of the training they had gone through up to this point. Quickly and silently, the Marines split off in their respective teams and moved to their next point of domination. Once there, they communicated via radio to begin the assault. Marines flowed through buildings, ensuring each one is cleared of any insurgents or targets. Once they had full security around their objective point, the raid force moved in to take out the high-value target. This final exercise marked the end of the security element course, which consisted of Marines with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, Combat Logistics Battalion 15 and the Force Reconnaissance Detachment, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif. This three-week course was designed to improve the speed and accuracy of the Marines that make up the Maritime Raid Force security element. When the 15th MEU deploys in the spring, these Marines will support the Maritime Raid Force by providing exterior security when the raid force hits an objective, and by augmenting the personnel on that raid force. This exercise required the Marines to plan and execute a raid in an urban environment and eliminate a high-value target while using the skills they had learned throughout the course. The Marines split into five groups, which included two blocking positions on the road, two isolation groups to ensure buildings surrounding the objective building were clear and to hold security on the objective. The tactics the security element uses vary based on their mission, but what stays consistent is that a lot of moving parts had to work together in order to make the mission successful. The crawl, walk, run approach to training was apparent throughout the entire course. Learning these skills will ensure these Marines are prepared to support the MRF during the 15th MEU’s deployment. Following this course, the Marines with the security element will continue to train in preparation for the 15th MEU’s deployment. “This was a foundation,” said Cpl. Collin Medford, a squad leader with BLT 3/1. “I expect things to get a lot more difficult as we go through the work up and keep doing those rehearsals as they taught us here.”

2nd Bn., 9th Marines. “There’s a lot of different ways you can go about clearing a building, and I’ve learned more than a few new ways to do that throughout this training.” The CARAT maritime exercise series promotes regional security cooperation, mutual understanding, and enhances interoperability among participating forces. This is achieved through partnership and bilateral training that allows those involved to also share their culture with one another and strengthen relationships. “They were very eager to learn,” said Racavich. “[Everyone] gets excited while training, and we have to slow down a bit, but they did really well. I was actually surprised that there wasn’t much of a language barrier, but they were very kind, liked to hold conversation and just overall good people.”
FOCSANI, Romania - Marines and Sailors from the Black Sea Rotational Force, along with members of the Romanian Land Forces and 300th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, worked hand-in-hand during training events on exercise Platinum Lynx 15 in Focsani, Romania, Nov. 2-7. Service members trained with their Romanian partners in patrolling, live-fire ranges and weapons familiarization classes. Marines and Romanian soldiers were eager to learn tactics, techniques and procedures from each other. The patrol lanes integrated teams of Marines and Romanian soldiers to react to simulated enemy contact. Other Romanian soldiers acted as antagonist role players, attacking and creating situations for the patrols to respond to; antagonists would attack from across danger areas, different flanks, and set up improvised-explosive devices to test the patrols’ reaction to different situations. Different weapons systems were utilized during the live-fire ranges, with service members from each military handing off weapons to each other to learn how they functioned. “The training is good for us because we learned how to use different methods for our skill set,” said Capt. Mihai Moldovan, 280th Mechanized Battalion Fire Support Company commander. Combat lifesaver, call for fire, personnel searching and detaining and range estimation classes were all taught to deepen the knowledge and familiarity between forces. “The Romanians seemed thirsty for the knowledge, they paid attention and were very motivated in class,” said HM2 Andy Chanes, senior corpsman for Weapons Co., 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines. Sporting events and shooting contests were also held between the two militaries, fostering brotherhood and competition. The training provided at Platinum Lynx 15.3 continued to build upon the two countries established relationship of cohesion and interoperability, assuring a long-standing partnership between them.
