MWSS-272 receives award for performance Lance Cpl. Kyle N. Runnels ROTOVUE Staff

Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 was received the 2011 Motor Transportation Association motor transport unit of the year award during a ceremony abaord Marine Corps Base Quantico, April 3. “Our unit is an aviation ground support (unit), which means we support an air station,” said 1st Lt. Brett M. McCormick, MWSS-272 operations platoon commander. “An air station is usually a secured facility because of the assets and high-dollar value of all the equipment here. We support the fuel requirements, the water requirements and moving (ammunition). Traditionally we support things internal to an air station.” McCormick, the company commander in Afghanistan, said what made his company stand out to receive this award was great pre-deployment training at Enhanced Mojave Viper and a lot of external convoys. “We did over 54 combat logistics patrols,” said McCormick. “We moved over 159 million pounds of equipment; we dispatched over 4,200 vehicles and drove over 56,500 miles. The statistics are there, and we were only there with a platoon of 43, so at one time we were supporting four forward operating bases with only a platoon of 43 Marines.”

Whenever great feats are accomplished, many moving parts may go unnoticed or unsung. “We never had an issue with the maintenance aspect,” he added. “The maintenance (Marines) are the unsung heroes working behind the lines for long hours. If we didn’t have such great maintenance support, all those great statistics would not have been able to happen because maintenance drives the operations.” Cpl. Carl Kaasik was said to be a ‘jack-of-all trades’ for the company in Afghanistan. His skills put him above and beyond what was required of him. “He has over 37 licenses and can handle motor transport equipment as well as engineering equipment,” said McCormick. Great unit cohesion made this a memorable time in Afghanistan for everyone that was deployed. “What was great about the Marines out there was they never complained,” said McCormick. “For many of them, that was probably the best seven months they have had in the Marine Corps. We had very good cohesion. We were a big family. At the end of the day, everyone realized we were in Afghanistan for the next seven months, and we just had to pull it together because there was light at the end of the tunnel.” On top of doing everything required of them, MWSS-272 was able to train various Marines throughout 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and issue 193 licenses.

McCormick added, “What got you through the day was when you saw Marines with dirt all over their face and you could just tell they were tired, but you would get that smile and see those white shiny teeth. That is what made it all worth it.”

like a real hurricane.” Although the exercise was a simulated hurricane, it helped the air station prepare for other forms of destructive weather. “This particular exercise is geared toward hurricanes,” said Lang. “Every year we get several tropical storms so it may be more accurate to say this also prepares us for the impact of tropical storms, not just hurricanes. (Tropical Storms) are sub-hurricane strength, but are still strong enough to cause damage and put folks in danger if (they’re) not prepared.” Lang said the goal was to go into this year’s hurricane season with an improved plan of action. This exercise is a good test to find any possible flaws or missing pieces within the new write up. “MCI East has re-written their destructive weather order,” said Lang. “By doing so, it has created a requirement for installations to re-write ours to comply. From front to back, this order is a complete re-write.” Without knowing what to expect, the new order was well tested. “There are a few things that we learned from this,” said Lang “One thing we hope the installation will learn is the requirements within the new order. From previous exercises and real world hurricanes, we have collected the after-actions, and we have consolidated the recommended changes into this new order.” The simulated hurricane tested the new order to prepare the air station for the upcoming hurricane season which runs June 1 through Nov. 30.

New River prepares for destructive weather Lance Cpl. Kyle N. Runnels ROTOVUE Staff

June 1 is officially the start of the 2012 hurricane season. Marines and civilian employees aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River prepared themselves by participating in a destructive weather exercise, March 29. “Every year we have to do a base-wide destructive weather exercise prior to the start of the forecasted hurricane season,” said Kert Lang, the air station current operations officer. “This year we are partnering with all of the other Marine Corps Installation East (emergency operation centers).” The storm was as real as possible and had been created based on information following actual hurricane patterns. “The regional Meteorological and Oceanographic Center at MCAS Cherry Point has put together a complete storm with tracks and winds just like what you would see on your television at night if you were watching the weather channel,” said Lang. “They took data from prior hurricanes and made a template of that for our simulated hurricane, and they tweaked it to accommodate our timelines and goals. They gave us a hurricane that’s as close to real as possible.” Due to the extended life of hurricanes, the simulation was expedited to save time. “It is a compressed time scale,” said Lang. “(METOC) had to make this thing move in a way that would fit our compressed time frame. The exercise is going to start with the southern installations and will work its way up the coast just

Golden Eagles drop off, re-supply troops Story and photo by Lance Cpl. Kyle N. Runnels ROTOVUE Staff

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 162 conducted a re-supply for Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Atlantic in order to sustain simulated combat operations aboard Camp Lejeune, March 27. Additional missions included troopmovementsof EWTGLANT, from simulated forward operating base Lark to forward operating base BT11, said Capt. Chad R. Halliday, VMM-162 embarkation officer. According to their mission statement, EWTGLANT conducts naval expeditionary warfare training with a focus on amphibious operations to support forces ready to project military power from the sea. The exercise started with MV22B Ospreys picking up troops and then flying them to the designated landing zone.

“We are really helping them out by getting them to where they need to go, fast,” said Sgt. David E. Knight, VMM-162 crew chief. “The Osprey has very high top speeds.” Halliday said there were simulated enemy forces in the vicinity of the landing zone. They were armed with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. They also had technical vehicles with antiaircraft capabilities. “Realistically, we are supporting movement of EWTGLANT troops and tacking on some technicalities to improve our squadron’s core proficiencies,” said Halliday. The mission was an excellent training exercise for VMM-162 crew chiefs, said Knight. Normally, training is all about the pilots, said Knight. These general support missions are really

important around here because they give the crew chiefs good training, he added. He said VMM-162 is slated to deploy to Afghanistan within the next year and this kind of operation is common while deployed. “A lot of the guys around here right now are new,” said Knight. “We are deploying soon so this gets them the kind of training they will need for real-world scenarios.” Knight said he could tell it was also a good exercise for EWTGLANT. “I could tell it was some of their first flights by how they acted,” joked Knight. “Now that they have their first flight out of the way they won’t have to worry about what to expect during future operations. This exercise proved to be a success for both us and EWTGLANT.”

Troops with Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Atlantic, get situated aboard one of VMM-162’s MV-22B Ospreys shortly after getting picked up during a tactical insertion and extraction exercise, March 27. The Ospreys landed just in time to pick the troops up as they were arriving at the extraction zone.

MCIEAST, MCB Camp Lejeune merge under single command Nat Fahy

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE – Beneath a cloudless sky last Tuesday, several hundred Marines representing Camp Lejeune units participated in a formal re-designation ceremony held at W.P.T. Hill Field to recognize the official merge of Marine Corps Installations East and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune under the singular command of Brigadier General Thomas A. Gorry. In front of more than 300 onlookers and assisted by their sergeants major, outgoing base commander Col. Dan Lecce and BGen. Gorry encased their respective unit colors representing MCIEAST and Camp Lejeune. Shortly afterward, Gorry unfurled a new set to recognize the re-designated command. This change in command structure was in response to an earlier decision by Headquarters Marine Corps to realign installation commands to optimize support to Marine Corps operating forces and tenant commands. According to HQMC, these organizational changes are consistent with efficiencies initiatives ongoing throughout the Marine Corps to implement more effective ways for mission accomplishment. Originally stood up in October 2005, MCIEAST is one of three other regional commands that now fall under Marine Corps Installations Command at Headquarters Marine Corps. Since it was formed this past fall, the aim of MCICOM is to better increase the management and operations of the installations with a clarification of authority and responsibility. In addition, MCICOM hopes to standardize installation functions across the Marine Corps to better support the warfighting mission. The other commands include Marine Corps Installations Pacific in Okinawa, Japan, and Marine Corps Installations West in Camp Pendleton, CA. In a speech commending Lecce’s ability to take care of tenants and families while fostering critical relationships with the community, MCICOM Commanding General Major General James Kessler remarked, “In the case of Dan

Lecce, he has knocked the ball out of the park in all three areas.” Lecce was awarded a second Legion of Merit for his role in overseeing and protecting the 157,000-acre base, all while it underwent the largest construction boom since the 1950s. According to the citation, he oversaw more than $1.5 billion in construction-related expenses in support of the Grow the Force initiative and Global War on Terrorism. Indeed, by all accounts, he had one of the most memorable tours of duty reconciling these activities with record rainfalls, a blizzard, a tornado, a 10,000 acre wildfire and a hurricane that dramatically impacted the base. “There might be a few folks that are just a little happy to see you leave,” Kessler joked. In his exit speech, Lecce deadpanned, “I just want to say from the outset, none of these disasters were my fault; I just had to manage them. Yet, through all (of them), the community that we have here is second to none. Thank you very much for everything you do to support the base.” After a couple months attending joint professional military education classes, Colonel Lecce will transfer to U. S. Southern Command based in Miami, FL to be the staff judge advocate later this summer. As the newly-appointed, dual-hatted commander of MCIEAST and Camp Lejeune, BGen. Gorry had a special message for the row of generals in attendance representing II Marine Expeditionary Force. “We will do our utmost to support you and the quality of life for your Marines, sailors and their families.” In his current capacity, Gorry will be the sole authority for all matters related to Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, GA., Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, FL., Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico, VA., and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, SC. ensuring an acceptable, consistent level of service is provided to Marines, Sailors, and their families across the region. He is supported in the execution of his duties by a Deputy Commander and a Chief of Staff.

Blue Knights give 2/6 a lift Cpl. Lisa M. Tourtelot

3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (FWD)

HELMAND PROVINCE, Afghanistan — Rotor blades are spinning and low chatter is drifting in over the internal communication system. The flight crews of two MV-22B Ospreys await takeoff – again – they have been flying since before 5 a.m., March 28. It’s late morning now and their day is far from over. Before the day is done, the crews from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365, known as the “Blue Knights,” will have picked up nearly 40 Marines, sailors and Afghan National Army soldiers from a remote patrol base and dropped them off even deeper into Helmand province, Afghanistan. “When getting ready for an [operation], I’m thinking about prepping the aircraft and making sure our weapons are clean and ready,” said Sgt. Kyle Harrison, a crew chief with VMM-365 and San Diego native. Harrison explained that clean weapons and updated personnel rosters are important concerns for him as a crew chief. He ensures that the aircrews have everything they need to complete the mission, whether it is available seats for passengers, ammunition or fuel. Upon landing at the patrol base, there is little time before the Marines and sailors of 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment file efficiently onto the two aircraft. They are organized and ready. They have all the gear they will need to spend several weeks outside the wire conducting combat operations. The Marines and sailors of 2/6 have only been in country for a few months and some have already taken note

of the efficiency and professionalism of the aircrews they often depend on for supplies, long distance movements and infiltrations. “Every time we do this, they’re very professional,” said Lance Cpl. Dylan Jackson, a fire team leader with 2/6 and Fairfax, Va., native. Jackson explained that he has participated in three aerial infiltrations and each time the aircrew has worked to get Marines and sailors to their destination safely and ahead of schedule. Harrison added that the ability to fly to these locations is crucial to completing ground operations. “We have the element of surprise,” said Harrison. “We drop out of the sky and land anywhere. If [ground troops] walk, they’re [vulnerable] to attack. If they have to take their vehicles, they’re forced to travel on roads with [improvised explosive devices.]” When the Ospreys land at the predetermined patrol site in southwestern Afghanistan, the Marines, sailors and ANA soldiers are off the aircraft even faster than when they boarded. The well-trained personnel fan-out in a defensive arc, faced with barren desert and sparse farms. “Once we got off the deck… everything went very quickly,” said Harrison. “We got the [ground combat element] exactly where they wanted to go. That helps them effectively carry out their mission.” The Blue Knight crews take flight as soon as the last man is on the ground and at a safe distance from the Ospreys. The aircraft depart quickly, racing upward and conducting stomach-churning turns. The faster they get back in the air, the safer they are. It’s time to return to Camp Leatherneck and prepare for the next mission.

Brunch, awards for New River’s volunteers Lance Cpl. Manuel A. Estrada ROTOVUE Staff

Leadership aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River held the 10th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Brunch in the Staff Noncommissioned Officer Club, April 5. All of the air station’s volunteers were invited to the brunch and 27 of them received the President’s Volunteer Service Award. The award is given to individuals, families, and groups that have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service and civic participation throughout a 12-month period, according to http://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov. Lt. Col. Parrish M. Boulware, air station executive officer, presented the awards to Marines and volunteers. Boulware said the volunteers sometimes go unrecognized for their accomplishments and the time they give to the air station Marines. The lunch and the awards were just a small token to thank the volunteers, he added. “Volunteers don’t do it for money; they

do it because they are passionate about what they do,” said Boulware. “(The volunteers) are stewards of the base and the Marine Corps in everything (the volunteers) do on and off the base.” Unfortunately, some of the Marines were not able to receive their awards due to deployments and other situations, said Kelly Kline, Family Team Building trainer. The Lifestyle, Insights, Networking, Knowledge and Skills volunteers were recognized as a group. The LINKS class offers an orientation to the Marine Corps lifestyle, helping spouses, Marines, children and parents/extended family members understand and adapt to the unique challenges of military life, according to the LINKS website. Lita Bartels, former air station volunteer and current director of volunteer services in Prince Williams Heath System in Virginia, was the guest speaker for the lunch. She was the air station’s Officer Wife Club’s honorary president among many other roles. When she first came aboard the air sta-

tion, she and some volunteers planted trees to honor fallen Marines, Bartels said. When she returned, the trees have grown large and strong. The volunteers had set the seed for the future so the volunteer programs can grow. Bartels added that volunteers put in more than eight billion hours in 2010. She continued that if all volunteers were paid the amount they should be paid, $21.36 per

hour, they would have earned more than 173 billion dollars. “The thank you (from someone) is more than a $1,000 paycheck,” said Bartels. “Things change, and volunteers don’t change. The air station has changed a little bit since the last time I have been here. The heart of the volunteers has not changed a bit. (Volunteers) are remarkable. What you do truly makes a difference to our community. Thank you.”

New River bowling alley gets revamped Lance Cpl. Kyle N. Runnels ROTOVUE Staff

Although the bowling alley was slated to re-open midApril, it is now planned to open mid-June to the start of July, due to unforeseen structural and code updates. “That’s what happens when you do renovations,” said Richard Cole, Marine Corps Community Service Semper Fit Director. “When you are building a new building it is easy to do. You are building it from the ground up. When doing this kind of stuff, you come across a lot of unforeseen problems that were grandfathered in and when you renovate, you have to bring them all up to code. Some of the problems were not able to be foreseen until you actually went into the project and uncovered them.” On a positive note, the bowling alley has received many upgrades that should enhance the experience. To start, the previous alley had an overhang before entering the lobby. The renovation will remove the overhang and bump the walls out to enclose the overhang, all while adding more than 500 square feet. The additional room will be used to enhance seating arrangements, add a whole new service counter and allow a more welcoming feeling when entering the bowling alley. Cole said a full-service pro shop is being added. Marines and families will now be able to purchase bowling shoes and

bowling balls, as well as have their bowling balls drilled to fit their fingers. Along with the new pro shop, the alley is getting new glow in the dark carpeting and revamping its black lights for a better cosmic bowling experience. The snack bar will also be getting a facelift and may offer a new selection of foods. Robert Armel, director of business operations, said the menu is still up in the air. The Lakeside Grill offers much of the same food as the bowling alley previously did, but

has a smaller menu. He said they are trying to offer a variety of different foods around the air station and are looking at possibly adding Mexican food to the menu. The bowling alley is slated to have a bowling event on its opening night to celebrate the renovation and eventually will support a bowling league, Cole added. Cole said Marines and civilians are allowed to bowl at the alley as long as they have a way to get aboard the installation. He said reservations will be accepted, but are not usually needed, except Fridays and Saturdays.

PeePs

To celebrate Spring, the Marine Corps Air Station New River Commissary created an elaborate Peeps display. The traditional springtime candy is arranged into an epic Peep invasion of Earth, with CH-53E Super Stallions and MV-22B Ospreys in the background, presumably trying to stop the invading Peep force.

Keeping families prepared with a plan Lance Cpl. Manuel A. Estrada ROTOVUE Staff

Marine and Family Services aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River held a Family Care Plan workshop for Marines and their spouses, March 29. The workshop showed Marines how to comply with Marine Corps Order 1740.13A, which states that all single Marines with dependents or dual military couples with dependents must have a family care plan in place. Even though the order is specifically for those Marines, the class is open to all Marines who want to set up a plan for future dependents, said Ken Lewis, life skills trainer with Marine and Family Services. At the beginning of the class, Lewis armed the participants with the paperwork for a family care plan. The packet included a copy of the Marine Corps order, the Department of Defense instruction and all the forms they needed. “(In the class) I talk about what the family care plan is, who needs the family care plan, which North Carolina statues affect (the service members), and what benefits and resources are available for them,” said Lewis. The plan allows you to write down all the Marine’s

intentions for their dependents in case of death or injury, said Lewis. Dependents need two people listed as guardians. The first person is a local person who would be the short-term caregiver who would take care of the dependents until they reach a permanent home. The second would be someone who would take care of the dependents from then on. The family care plan has forms that make it easier for the person receiving responsibility for the dependent, he added. The packet has all medical, dental and special needs information the dependent may need in one place. Logistics for the dependent are also laid out in the paperwork, like transportation and daycare, he said. Other topics the class guides people through are passports, wills and powers of attorney. After all the paperwork is filled out, some of the papers need to be notarized or filed at the air station’s Joint Law Center. When there are classes with more than 10 participants, legal specialist Marines are in the class helping out, said Lewis. Marines with a family care plan have one less thing to worry about back home or when they are serving overseas.

To prepare for an untimely death, a Marine with dependants needs to fill out several documents, including powers of attorney and wills. Single Marines with children also need to set up short-term and longterm childcare. Photo illustration by Lance Cpl. Manuel A. Estrada

Corpsmen gain experience in Ospreys Lance Cpl. Manuel A. Estrada ROTOVUE Staff

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 flew six corpsmen on a training mission for flight experience in an MV-22B Osprey for their upcoming exam, March 29. The corpsmen, assigned to the Marine Corps Air Station New River Dental Clinic, are preparing for tests and boards that will earn them the right to wear the Fleet Marine Force Enlisted/Officer Warfare Specialist Device. The device shows that the sailor is qualified to work with and support Marines in their mission, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Veronica Barlow, dental assistant assigned to the air station’s dental clinic. The device, worn over the sailor’s right breast pocket, is an Eagle, Globe and Anchor with crossed rifles and ocean swells in the background, according to Navy.mil. The sailors have to meet several requirements like taking apart and putting back together an M4 service rifle, as well as pass written tests and several review boards, according to Petty Officer 3rd Class Davareo Warren, dental assistant. “(The air station Marines) are our patients, the pilots, crew chiefs and all the Marines that

work on the aircraft,” said Navy Lt. Matthew Miller, a dentist at the air station dental clinic. “It’s pretty mind blowing what (the Marines) do and what the aircraft are capable of.” After joking about how long they have anticipated the flight, the corpsman loaded on the Osprey and prepared for takeoff. They sat with a view out of the back hatch with an earto-ear smile. With wheels off the ground, the sailors were on their first military flight. They took turns unstrapping themselves from their seats and securing themselves to the Osprey with a rigger’s belt, which allows the gunner and crew to move safely throughout the aircraft during flights. Once secured, the corpsmen walked to the rear hatch and observed North Carolina from several hundred feet in the air. To show the corpsmen the capabilities of the Osprey, the crew from VMM-263 landed and took off from a remote landing pad at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, flew at a high rate of speed and banked in several directions. After the hour-long flight, the sailors were back on the ground regaining their ‘land legs.’ While some experienced motion sickness, all had a good time. “(The flight) was awesome,” said Seaman

Apprentice Matthew McRimmon, dental assistant. “I enjoyed seeing the aircraft tactical landing and takeoffs out in the field. It really showed me a lot. I want to deploy and this gives me a feeling of what I could do.” He said he has read the books on specifications of the Osprey, but he learned more about its capabilities from being in the aircraft. “(The sailors) going up in a flight and getting hands-on experience will look better on their boards,” said Warren. “Also by going on this flight and asking questions, they will be able to tell other corpsmen how the aircraft is.” (Above) Navy Lt. Matthew Miller, Marine Corps Air Station New River dentist, observes the MV-22B Osprey land and takeoff vertically, March 29. Photo by Lance Cpl. Manuel A.
