An F-5N Tiger II aircraft rests on the flight line aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Dec. 3, 2015. The Marine Division Tactics Course began aboard the air station Jan. 11. The course provides F/A- 18 Hornet aircrew and Marine air intercept controllers with groundside and airborne instruction in doctrine, tactics and weapons considerations for the successful use of Marine fighter attack aircraft in combat. Marine Fighter Training Squadron 401 brought eight F-5N Tiger II aircraft to support red air for the course. Red air is the adversary forces for air-to-air training. The aircraft is with VMFT-401, Marine Aircraft Group 41.

Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224, homebased at MCAS Beaufort, is temporarily based in Iwakuni on a unit deployment program and deployed to Northern Japan to participate in the Chitose Aviation Training Relocation Exercise Jan. 12-22. During the exercise, the squadron conducted dissimilar air combat training with and against the Japan Air Self-Defense Force to further support combined interoperability and Pacific theater security cooperation.

Marines with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224, homebased at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C., and currently forward based at MCAS Iwakuni, conducted dissimilar air combat training during the Chitose Aviation Training Relocation exercise at Chitose Air Base, Japan, Jan. 12-22. In order to support Pacific theater security cooperation, the F/A-18D Hornet squadron, known as the “Fighting Bengals,” performed DACT with and against Japan Air Self-Defense Force counterparts and developed the operational readiness of U.S. and Japanese forces. “DACT is defined as air-to-air combat against a different aircraft platform that is usually out of sight,” said Capt. Seth Byrum, pilot training officer with VMFA(AW)-224. “Due to limitations in Iwakuni, we can typically only train against other F-18s as the aggressor aircraft. DACT gives us the ability to simulate air-to-air combat training against a dissimilar aircraft like the JASDF’s F-15J/DJ Eagles.” Due to the diverse aircraft and aviation platforms provided, VMFA(AW)-224 successfully executed basic see

Chaplain’s Corner

What is in a Name? By William Holiman, CDR, CHC, MCAS Command Chaplain What is in a name? I would bet that some of us can quote William Shakespeare who wrote the line, “A rose would smell as sweet by any other name.” He meant that names do not matter. Only the character matters. But in the 20th century another writer came along and wrote, “A rose is a rose is a rose.” That writer meant that names and characters go together. When Shakespeare wrote his line he knew that it would turn out that the line would prove false. It is from Romeo and Juliet and it turns out that names really do matter, if you remember reading that play in high school. Many of us have old traditional names with deep meaning. Those names express a hope from our parents, or perhaps we are named after a relative who had that name. My first name, William, means something like “resolute protector” and is a pretty good description of my character. My nature is to protect people and institutions. It is expresses my character. My wife and I have three children and their names are amazingly accurate descriptions of their characters. The oldest is Graham, which means “person who lives in a grey house.” He never wants to go outside. The next is Alan, which means “Cheerful.” He was always a happy camper. The third I will leave out just so you wonder. Pilots usually have a call sign, a name, that expresses something about them, usually something that they did wrong or silly.

This article will deal with the old folks used to call our Christian name or these days simply our first name. You have more names than that, but we will just look at “your name.” I write about this today because in many Christian churches the scripture readings the past few weeks have had something to do with names. In the scripture readings for Christmas there is always something about naming Jesus. The name expresses his mission and character. January 1 is not only New Year’s Day, but it is also Jesus’ name day, the day when he was officially named at his circumcision. Various writers give differing numbers of names and titles for Jesus. One had a list of 200; another had a list of 102 names. All those names express his character, mission and role. Names are important. Many churches have just read a passage from Isaiah 62 about ancient Israel being given a new name. When the land was desolate and the people in despair they had one name, but when God acts for them they get a new name. In the entire Bible people are renamed regularly to express who they are, or something special about them. Pharaoh renamed Joseph. Jesus renames Simon as Peter. We could name many other examples but you get the idea. Names are a big deal. They are who you are. I remember hearing a sermon long ago from the text in Proverbs 22:1 that says: “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” That takes us to whole new level. Not only are our names an

expression of who we are, now we see that we can bring honor to the name we have or we can bring dishonor to that name. So let me ask you, what does your name says about you? What character traits does your name express? I know that these days many people have names that are not traditional and they may not have traditional meanings, but even so Mom and Dad were trying to say something special about you. What were they saying? What hopes are you carrying from them? Your name is not only given to you by your parents, but you also do things with it. When people use your name, what do they do? Do they shudder at the very sound of your name or find strength in it? Do people remember your name and think good things or do they clear their throats after saying it? Does your name say something true and good about you? This is an important topic. All of us are known by name, in the military usually by our last names, but still the first name, that name that is especially yours, is important. It has meaning not only to you and your family but to everyone around you. I do not think that many of spend much time wondering about how our names will be remembered, or how to take care of our names. But we should. Your name is important. So take a moment today and just think, “How do people think of my name?” What do you think of your name? When you leave your section behind in a few years, what scent will your name leave behind? Will it be a good name that is esteemed higher than silver and gold or will be something else. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

Dewey Canyon, perhaps the most successful high-mobility regimental-size action of the Vietnam War, began in the A Shau/Da Krong Valleys when the 9th Marines, commanded by Colonel Robert H. Barrow, and supporting artillery were lifted from Quang Tri. By 18 March the enemy’s base area had been cleared out, 1617 enemy dead had been counted, and more than 500 tons of weapons and ammunition unearthed.

Persistent El Nino conditions will provide a winter similar to last year for the United States. Beaufort County will be wetter and cooler than normal. Additionally, there will be a higher risk for severe weather, including tornadoes and possible floods. Be prepared for drastic changes in temperatures and precipitation. Monitor the latest forecasts and briefings from the National Weather Service in order to prepare your home and family for any extreme weather. Ensure you take extra precautions when travelling.

fighter maneuvers, section engaged maneuvers, aircraft tactical intercepts and offensive/defensive counter air missions in a disparate environment to their home station in South Carolina. “Basic fighter maneuvers are just one versus one aircraft type of fight, starting in a neutral position, so no one has a clear advantage from the beginning,” said Capt. Alexander Blank, a VMFA(AW)-224 pilot. “The goal is to become offensive on the aircraft and deploy simulated weapons.” Offensive and defensive basic fighter maneuvers are performed during air combat maneuvers, also known as “dogfighting.” This type of aerial warfare is actually the art of maneuvering a combat aircraft in order to obtain a positive offensive position on the enemy. “Section engaged maneuvers are two versus one, or two versus two aircrafts, and is a little bit more intensive as far as task saturation due to multiple aircraft in the sky,” said Blank. “Aircraft tactical intercepts are when we intercept aircraft that is out of our sight to get into an offensive position either to employ weapons or identify them as a hostile, and then employ weapons. Working with and against the Japanese F-15s gives us the opportunity to train against an aircraft we may not have a lot of experience with. They have very different capabilities as far as their maneuverability, power and weapons systems, and they are much more conservative with their training than U.S. forces are.” Chitose ATR provided a unique opportunity for this East Coast squadron to dogfight against their Japanese counterparts in a profoundly different climate as they continue their tour with the unit deployment program that sends U.S. based units on a six-month rotation around the Pacific. “We aren’t use to flying in this cold weather and the snow, but the jets tend

to perform much better in this cold weather,” said Blank. “The engines exert more thrust and we get more response from flight controls. The only downside is Chitose AB is an unfamiliar airfield. ... We are unfamiliar to the area, and here, we have to deal with the language barriers. This definitely brings out some skills that we do not use that often.” As pilots performed tactical movements and missions in the Northern Japan skies, aviation engine mechanics, airframers, ordnancemen, avionics and maintenance administrators worked behind the scenes to ensure the Fighting Bengals and JASDF aviators had a solid foundation to execute their maneuvers effectively. “Without the maintainers, the aircraft can’t fly safely,” said Lance Cpl. Zackery Miller, a power liner plane captain with VMFA(AW)-224. “Pilots probably wouldn’t get the training that they need or many flight hours. Due to the weather change which is much colder than South Carolina, this environment brings about issues we don’t always deal with. Parts wear out faster and they need to be replaced more often here, and there are different standard operating procedures we follow just to preserve the aircraft as much as we can. We have a good crew out here and being able to have the resilience to get the job done helps our mission success too.” This training better prepares U.S. and Japan forces to work together in the future as both allies continue to practice tactical procedures and techniques, enhance bilateral interoperability and build fundamental relationships. “Without this ATR exercise, we have less opportunity to train with the U.S., so I believe this training will help us bond and execute our operational capabilities,” said Maj. Atsuya Shimatani, chief of public relations office, administrative department for JASDF.

then the last section of the course puts four pilots up against an unknown number of adversaries,” said Gallup. “The final test is applying division tactics to strike a target in hostile territory. They learn to fight their way in, drop air-to-ground ordnance, and then fight their way back out.” The advanced air-to-air and self-escort strike tactics course is equivalent to the Navy’s Top Gun program and has a rigorous training schedule where pilots learn both in the classroom and in the sky. The arduous course is offered twice a year, once on the West Coast and once on the East Coast. Pilots preparing to take the course go through an extensive training process. The best pilots are chosen and designated to represent their squadron. After the course, the pilots take what they have learned to pass on to their peers. “The pilots will come back to us and teach us the new standards for tactics and

knowledge,” said Gallup. “This keeps us all up to date and mission ready.” The training is demanding and requires pilots to think quickly in uncertain situations. The purpose is to teach them to work together effectively to accomplish the mission. “This course requires a lot of dedication and focus,” said Gallup. “Pilots need to have situational awareness about what is going on around them and look to employ not just their own aircraft but the division as a whole.” The course serves as an opportunity to highlight individuals who stand out in their units. Pilots with talent and skill have the opportunity to further their military education and become mentors to their fellow aviators. “We have this opportunity to identify individuals with a lot of potential and give them excellent training so the entire Marine Corps can benefit,” said Gallup.

Marines mentor Marines during Mentor Month

Photo by Senior Airman Perry Aston

Story by: Cpl. Samantha K. Torres Staff Writer

National Mentoring Month is a campaign held each January to promote youth and young adult mentoring. Marine Corps Order 1500.58 details the Marine Corps Mentoring Program that commenced in 2006. The mission of the Marine Corps Mentoring Program is for all commanders and leaders to implement the program in order to preserve and protect the force, support readiness, and to develop Marines to their full potential. “The Mentorship program is a concept of leadership development, counseling, and mentoring,” said Sgt. Maj. Edward Hebron, the sergeant major of Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron. “It allows the leaders to mold their junior Marines into future leaders.” The program is broadly

structured, and designed to be shaped as needed to meet the commanders’ intent. “I think the mentoring program is very beneficial for all ranks,” said Lance Cpl. Fernando Magallanes, an administrative clerk with H&HS. The mentoring phase begins in recruit training as recruits learn and take advice from their drill instructors. “The program enables leaders to stay fully engaged with their mentees and to conduct a one-onone counseling session, not only focusing on a Marine’s daily performance, but also their personal lives,” said Hebron. The job of the mentee is to be committed to grow, set goals, and understand when to ask for help. “It helps me better myself when my mentor tells me what I need to improve on, and helps me be a good Marine overall,” said Magallanes.

Relationships between the mentor and mentee are kept professional, so that good order and discipline is kept between ranks. “As a mentor to many, it gives me an opportunity to establish a great working and professional relationship with my Marines,” said Hebron. Mentors are responsible for setting the example for their mentees, and must know their own values to be able to assess their mentees. “As a mentee, it made me realize that I didn’t make it to the pinnacle of my career alone,” said Hebron. Every Marine has a mentor, most likely being the next senior in their chain of command. The goal is to keep the core values of honor, courage, and commitment throughout a unit by utilizing the program. “I am very fortunate to have the upmost professional leaders as mentors,” said Hebron.

Low Altitude Air Defense Marines tour Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Camp Komakado

A member of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force demonstrates the use of a targeting optical aide during a tour of Japan Ground Self-Defense Force facilities Jan. 13 at Camp Komakado, Shizuoka, Japan. The visit strengthened the relationship between Marines and their JGSDF counterpart, 1st Anti-Aircraft Battalion, by allowing them to observe training procedures, weapon systems, tactical vehicles and equipment. The Marines are from 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, Marine Aircraft Control Group 28; currently assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. Story and photos by: Cpl. Janessa Pon III Marine Expeditionary Force

Marines toured Japan Ground Self-Defense Force 1st Anti-Aircraft Battalion facilities Jan. 13 on Camp Komakado, Shizuoka, Japan. The visit strengthened the relationship between Marines and members of the JGSDF by allowing the service members to explore static displays of anti-aircraft defense equipment and vehicles, discuss training and tactical procedures, and eat meals together. “Today was a very big step for our Marines,” said 1st Lt. Yosef E. Adiputra, the officer in charge of 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, Marine Aircraft Control Group 28,

currently assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. “Given the American presence in the Asia-Pacific region, it is crucial for us to build that cohesion with our counterparts here in Japan so we can build relationships and partnerships and learn from each other.” The Marines rode onto Camp Komakado on a JGSDF truck and filed into a conference room in the 1st AntiAircraft Battalion building, where they received a brief on the equipment and operational capabilities of the unit. The Marines then toured the building and viewed static displays of tactical vehicles and weapon systems at the JGSDF motor pool. “We are very pleased to be

able to present our facilities to Marines,” said JGSDF 1st Lt. Takahashi, with the 1st AntiAircraft Battalion. “We want them to see how we train and discuss our tactics so we can learn from each other and develop a strong relationship.” The Marines’ also tour included a visit to the Improved Moving Target Simulator, during which Marines tried their hand at operating a simulated Personal Surface to Air Missile and firing at animated targets. According to Adiputra, a Queens, New York, native, the 1st Anti-Aircraft Battalion is structured much like a Marine Battalion. “The way their unit functions is very efficient and very impressive,” said Adiputra. “They are very capable and the similarities help us relate

better, while the differences allow us to learn from each other.” The facilities tour ended with the martial arts training facility, where members of the JGSDF demonstrated various facets of the program; such as hand-to-hand, rifle-bearing and Kendobased combat techniques. After the demonstrations, the Marines and JGSDF members gathered on the rooftop of the battalion building and posed for photos before enjoying lunch together. “Japan and the United States are critical allies with an important relationship,” said Takahashi. “When I visited Okinawa last year, I was treated very well by the Marines, so I wanted the Marines

The visit strengthened the relationship between Marines and members of the JGSDF by allowing the service members to discuss training and tactical procedures and observe each other’s tactical equipment and resources. The Marines visited the JGSDF motor pool, Improved Moving Target Simulator and 1st Anti-Aircraft Battalion building.

to have same experience very important and this here. That’s why we invited was a great opportunity to Marines. Our friendship is build on it.”

Maritime Raid Force performs urban training Story and photo by: Cpl. Thor Larson 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit

The relative quiet of a small neighborhood in Guam at night in is broken by a loud explosion. The concussive bang is soon followed by the small pop of gunfire. It doesn’t take long for camouflaged men to appear out of one of the buildings, clearly escorting someone. They rapidly load up into waiting vehicles and leave, any sign they were there disappearing in the silence of the night. Reconnaissance Marines and sailors with Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, conducted training on Guam, Jan. 11-17, as part of Realistic Urban Training Exercise. RUTEX is a high-intensity, close-quarter battle training exercise conducted in an actual urban environment to provide a high degree of realism to the training. The exercise is part of the MRF’s pre-deployment training before their upcoming deployment with the MEU. “RUTEX is a work-up exercise where they’re testing how well the MRF does as a whole,” said 2nd Lt. Jay Parales, the security element platoon commander with Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 31st MEU, currently attached to the MRF. “If you imagine a work up being a crawl - walk - run, then this is leaning into the walk and slightly into a jog.” The MRF is made of three different elements: the Amphibious Reconnaissance Platoon, Force Reconnaissance Platoon and the security element. They all have a specific role in the MRF and one cannot function without the other successfully. “The ARP went out before everyone else and started to survey the area,” said Parales, a native of Seattle. “With the information that the ARP provides, we use it to create plans and terrain models.” The Marines began to build the terrain models immediately after arriving in Guam. The terrain models are large, simple maps of the area and layout of the buildings the Marines will be operating in. They create the terrain models with items like chalk, cardboard, tape and paint and they use them to go through rehearsals and to familiarize the Marines with their objectives.

The gear of a Marine with Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, sits out ready to be used during Realistic Urban Training Exercise on Guam, Jan. 13. RUTEX is a high-intensity close-quarter battle training exercise conducted in an actual urban environment to provide a high degree of realism to the training. The exercise is part of the MRF’s pre-deployment training before their upcoming deployment with the 31st MEU.

“With the three different elements working together - the FRP, ARP and the security element - we all have to internally rehearse our role in the mission,” said Parales. “Then we have to rehearse how we’re all going to sync together and link up and leave together.” After the Marines go through their final rehearsal, they load up their gear and begin their mission. The MRF conducted two raids during RUTEX, both to capture simulated high-value targets located in different urban areas. With all of the information the FRP and security element received from the ARP, they could began their assaults. “RUTEX brings everyone together and makes us work together to accomplish the mission,” said Staff Sgt. Nicholas Weber, the special equipment non-commissioned officer

for the FRP. For both raids, the FRP Marines flew into the objective on two UH-60 Black Hawks, fastroped to the ground. Explosive charges were then used to make an entrance into the building the targets were located in. Marines then rushed in and engaged any enemies they came across while searching for their target. While the FRP is conducting actions on the objective, the security element is setting up a security cordon around the area. Blocking positions are used to keep anyone from coming in or out, and they have an extra team of Marines on hand to act as a reserve if the main effort needs it. “The security element has a two part mission the outer cordon and the inner cordon,” said Parales. “The outer cordon is in charge of

the blocking position with the vehicles and the security outside of the objective. The second mission for the security element is they follow the FRP directly into their objective.” Once the mission is complete, the security element acts as the extraction force, bringing everyone back for debriefing. The debrief is almost as important as the missions themselves, giving everyone a chance to go over what they did well and what they still need to improve on. “RUTEX really helps us to work together and fine tune our abilities to successfully complete a mission, no matter what it is,” said Weber, a native of Live Oak, California. “We’re training on what we could possibly do in real life and now everyone knows what they need to work on and what they have down.”
