Laurel Bay, Air Station address overhaul

Cpl. Timothy NorrisStaff Writer

Laurel Bay residents will receive a new address next month as a Department of Defense directive is imple-mented across the Marine Corps. The directive man-dates all military buildings

and streets comply with the Enhanced-911 addressing system.

Enhanced-911 is a system of numbering structures sequentially and roads by compass directions, associ-ating telephone numbers with a physical address so that first responders can ac-

curately identify and quick-ly reach their destination. Landlines are attached to the address they originate from and cellular phones use global positioning sat-ellites and cellular towers to pinpoint a caller’s location.

DoD approves community outreach programs

Cpl. Timothy NorrisStaff Writer

Headquarters Marine Corps reinstated community outreach programs for fiscal year 2014 with the release of Marine Ad-ministrative Message 639/13, Dec. 5.

This includes fly-overs, music outreach programs by Marine bands and air shows for several Marine Corps air stations includ-ing Beaufort.

“We are planning for the Air show in the spring of 2015,” said Mark Story, a Marine Corps Community Services nonap-propriated funds contracting officer. “It will include the Blue

Angles but be different from previous years. Everything from the vendors to aerial acts that have never been here before: it will all be updated and new.”

The bi-annual air show aboard the Air Station and the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Is-land Marine Band are the two biggest community outreach programs in the Tri-Command.

“It’s Important for Marines to interact with the public,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Stephen Giove, the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island Marine Band officer-in-charge.

Veterans should be aware of a market-ing scam targeting callers trying to reach the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Call Center or GI Bill Call Center. A marketing company has established two fraudulent numbers that differ from the two official VA call center numbers by one digit. If the fraudulent number is di-aled by mistake, the answering party will offer a gift card and try to obtain person-al and financial information, including credit card information, from the caller. The answering party may even transfer the caller to the VA after the caller's in-formation is obtained. Note that VA will never ask you for a credit card number or banking information over the phone. Before giving personal sensitive informa-tion over the phone make sure you know who you are taking to.

Marines, sailors honor Medal of Honor recipients with flying monument

Cpl. Timothy NorrisStaff Writer

The 1980’s era jet, attached to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, Calif., is being renovated to bear the names of four Medal of Honor recipients: Marines Sgt.

Dakota Myer, Cpl. Jason L. Dun-ham, and sailors Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor and Lt. Michael P. Murphy.

An F/A -18/B Hornet landed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to receive a new coat of paint, Dec. 9.

“It’s pretty cool. We’ve never done an aircraft like this before,”

said Staff Sgt. Edgar Pineda, the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 staff noncommis-sioned officer for the Corrosion Control Facility.

“When it comes to painting, this is normal,” Pineda said. “It’s something we do every day. The only difference is that this is go-ing to be white instead of grey.”

The amount of paint on an aircraft can affect the balance during flight so the majority of the blue tactical aggressor scheme paint will be removed down to the metal airframe. The surface will then be repaired and primed to remove dents, scratches and any other defects to have a smooth, clean surface

to paint on.“It’s like a car,” Pineda said,

calling attention to the hornet’s nearly 30-year lifespan. “The more dents and cracks it has, the more time it takes to fix it. This aircraft will be a little more time consuming.”

A Parris Island Marine Corps Band saxophonist plays in the Parris Island Big Band Ensemble during the Beaufort Christmas Tree Lighting in Downtown Beaufort, Dec. 6. Community outreach programs are restricted to a 45 percent reduction from the 2012 fiscal year budget and stricter event selection guidelines.

Kindness

Did you know...Dec. 15, 1948, the Secretary of the Navy signed a “Mem-orandum of Agreement” with the State Department which laid the basis for the modern Marine Secu-rity Guard program at U.S. embassies throughout the world.

The photocopying of U.S. Government identification cards is a violation of Title 18, U.S. Code Part I, Chapter 33, Section 701 and punishable by fine and imprisonment.

Cmdr. Dean L. HoelzMCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of kindness, those simple acts where people pause to do something for another sim-ply because they chose to. I have noticed that whenever someone shows me kindness, it always changes me for the better.

Not long ago while waiting in the express lane at the commissary, which is never as fast as I would like, my impatience began to show. It had been a long day. I was tired and hungry and my physical state was adding to my negative emo-tional state. Bottom line, I was get-ting really grouchy and irritable. I was standing behind an older

gentleman who had what I still think was more than 20 items in the express lane. His grocery cart of excessive food items only added fuel to my already grumpy state of mind and then it happened, un-expectedly. The older gentleman simply turned to me and politely said, “Mister, you look like you’re in a hurry, why don’t you go ahead of me?”

First, his offer made me ask myself if my attitude looked that obvious. Secondly, his act of kind-ness changed my attitude. I went from silently complaining in my mind about having to wait in line, to saying out loud, “sir, thank you so much,” and I said it sincerely too!

The man’s kindness directed towards me changed the rest of my

day. His kindness changed me from being overly concerned about my time, my schedule, and my plans, and caused me to become cen-tered once again in the one who showers us daily with abundant acts of kindness, that is, the creator of all things.

As people of God we are both recipients of great kindness and agents of God’s kindness towards one another. Kindness isn’t always doing great things for others; rather it is doing little things that make a great difference in the lives of others. When we take the time to offer a simple act of kindness to another by word or deed, we not only make a difference in the life of another, we make a difference in our life as well.

“Kindness isn’t always doing great things for others; rather it is doing little things that make a great difference in the lives of others.”

Because of climate conditions in Ca-lif., VMFAT-101 sent the hornet to the Air Station to be painted in a climate controlled hanger.

“We don’t have all the necessary equipment in Miramar to do some-thing this extensive,” said petty officer 2nd class Phillip Morgan an aviation structural mechanic with VMFAT-101. “In Miramar we would have to deal with the elements. Wind, potential rain, fog and moisture in general are your worst enemies when painting air-

craft.”In the end, the dedication and grati-

tude to those whose names will be painted on the hornet is shown by the great lengths the Marines and Sailors of VMFAT-101 have gone to accomplish their mission.

“It’s going to be a fresh start,” Morgan said. “It’s inspiring and motivational. It shows our gratitude to put the time and effort into it. It’s our tribute to these people for what they did.”

When the Medal of Honor hornet re-turns to MCAS Miramar, it will fly as a living monument to the heroic actions of the four individuals whose names it will bear.

An F/A -18/B Hornet landed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Dec. 9. The air-craft will be made into a Medal of Honor recipient memorial.

“It used to be that if you didn’t know your address, first responders may not know how to get to you,” said Joseph Otterbine, the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort lead fire inspector. “Now phones are linked to a physical address so even if you can’t speak they know where to go. With this system we don’t have to look at a map or guess where to go. We can re-spond quickly.”

The system was created to minimize re-

sponse time by emergency personnel. Dur-ing an emergency, seconds can mean the difference between life and death.

“It’s common sense,” Otterbine said. “The sooner we get there the better.”

Laurel Bay isn’t the only base required to change addresses, all military installations and housing are now required to follow the E-911 address system.

The current numbering system on Laurel Bay isn’t sequential and doesn’t divide the street by even and odd numbers. The Air Station buildings are numbered sequen-tially by when they were built, making buildings difficult to find for those who are not familiar with the bases.

“Although the military police and our fire-fighters know where everything is, Beau-fort County personnel may not,” said Owen Webb, an Air Station Public Works engineer. “If they respond as backup to an emergen-cy call, they could get lost. With this sys-tem they will be able to quickly respond to emergencies.”

Every house and building on Laurel Bay will receive a new number. Laurel Bay Bou-levard, Cypress Street, Althea Street, Cardi-nal Lane and Dove Lanes, will all be divided by East and West, while Crusader Crossing and Swamp Fox Trail will be divided into North and South.

With the holiday season in full swing, the

United States Postal Service has already been notified of the coming changes and is prepared to deliver any packages or cor-respondence to the correct location using either address.

“There shouldn’t be any issues with mail or package deliveries,” Webb said. “The only impact on residents will be their address change.”

Residents are required to fill out a change of address form online at www.usps.com or at a post office with their new address, which can be found at www.atlanticmcc.com as soon as possible as the post office will deliver only to the new address starting Jan. 10.

Marine administrative message 639/13, released Dec. 5, reinstated com-munity outreach programs like performances by Marine Corps bands, flyovers, air shows, Marine Week and other civic focused events for fiscal year 2014. The programs are restricted to a 45 percent reduction from the 2012 fiscal year budget and stricter event selection guidelines.

Corps story and teach the public about us and help them understand how and why we do things,” he said. “They may only know what they hear on the news or see in the movies, but at public events they get to see what we are really like.”

The outreach programs have been given strict guidelines on selecting what events to support. The budget also received a 45 percent reduction from the 2012 fiscal year. The mes-sage specified that resources should be focused on local areas at no cost to the government, and in areas not normally reached.

“We’re taking it slow,” Giove said.

“We want to be sure about the new rules and regulations and be as fis-cally responsible as possible.”

Other community outreach pro-grams include the Marine Field Band, the Silent Drill Platoon and the Drum and Bugle Corps, the President’s Own Marine Band, flyovers, Marine Week and other civic focused programs.

“Many people are patriotic and love the military,” Giove said. “Com-munity outreach programs honor our veterans, spread patriotism and help recruiting. We’re open for busi-ness and we’re happy to be playing for the American people again.”

Although the outreach programs have a smaller budget, they are back on the calendar of events for cities, stadiums and schools across the na-tion and Beaufort County.

Lt. Tanya Bates, U.S. Navy, an industrial hygienist for 2nd Ma-rine Aircraft Wing, walks through an office at VMFA(AW)-533 to in-spect safety standards.

She sifts through a stack of aprons and checks through pro-tective goggles for cracks and cleanliness.

She quizzes the Marines. How do you use the eye-washing sta-tion? Where is your first aid kit? How can you tell if someone is allergic to latex?

This was the scene at Ma-rine All-Weather Fighter At-tack Squadron 533 when VMFA(AW)-533 and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort had a commanding general’s inspection, Dec. 2-7.

The Commanding General’s Inspection Program helps the commanding general decide which squadron is most com-bat ready and makes certain the squadrons uphold their high safety, operational readiness and combat readiness standards.

The inspection covers more than 60 categories essential to the daily functions of the squad-ron and combat readiness, giv-ing a picture of the unit’s strong points and weak points. The grades and feedback from the team of inspectors allow the commanding general to com-pare aviation squadrons across 2nd MAW side-by-side.

For aviation squadrons, a CGI focuses heavily on high stan-dards of safety. Safety standards are set by the Occupational Safe-ty and Health Administration.

“Almost all of the safety poli-cies in OSHA regulations are there because at one point in time they were written in blood,” said Bates. “People have been hurt and killed, and controls were implemented so that we can protect ourselves. [Those controls] give [the Marines] a better quality of life, not only now but as they leave the Marine Corps and later when they reach their golden years.”

Throughout the CGI, inspec-tors corrected safety deficiencies as they are found.

“It’s not just about giving the Marines a grade; it’s about train-ing and teaching them,” said Gunnery Sgt. Craig Willbanks, a ground safety officer for 2nd MAW.

“It can be something as simple as making sure [Marines] know what a material safety data sheet is, or making sure they know proper first aid procedures if they get something in their eye or ingest something, so they don’t end up inadvertently dam-aging themselves in the long run,” said Willbanks.

Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 traveled to Ft. Stewart, Ga., for a week-long field training exercise at Canooch-ee Airstrip, Dec. 2-11.

To prepare for the exercise, the Sweat-hogs identified each company’s respon-sibilities and offered training based on training goals.

At the beginning of the week, after setting up their forward operating base, Marines began their simulated deploy-ment.

“At the beginning of the week some

mistakes were made,” said Cpl. Michael Alfaro, a training clerk for MWSS-273. “However, once they were fixed, things got much better.” According to 1st. Lt. Michael Yevon, the company command-er for Headquarters and Service Battal-ion of MWSS-273, mistakes are where the biggest training values are gained.

“We learned what corrections needed to be made in the future to become more proficient,” said Yevon.

MWSS-273 conducted improvised explosive device training, simulated Forward Operating Base attacks and trained on how to repair a base after an

attack.During IED training, Marines learned

basic patrolling techniques, as well as, how to neutralize IEDs.

Later in the week, the squadron prac-ticed responding to simulated attacks on their forward operating base.

Following the assault on the base, Ma-rines used training from earlier in the week to repair the base after the attack.

Since there are over 70 military occu-pational specialties within MWSS-273, the training helped the squadron come together and complete all mission-es-sential tasks.

On Dec. 5, the Sweathogs began con-struction of helicopter landing zones as training for a deployed environment and for use by Ft. Stewart during future operations.

The Sweathogs often work with many units when deployed due to a high op-erational tempo.

“It’s better to sweat now than bleed later,” said Alfaro.

From the initial setup of the Forward Operating Base to the base recovery af-ter attack and helicopter landing zone construction, the partnership benefit-ted both Ft. Stewart and MWSS-273.

Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 273, use their heavy equipment to construct a helicopter landing zone during a field exercise aboard Ft. Stewart, Ga., Dec. 5. The scenario was used to teach Marines how construction would be affected by a deployed environment.

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Two Marine fire teams rushed to reinforce several others after clearing a ridge of enemy combatants, but as one Marine ran to cover, an improvised explosive device detonated at his feet and chaos erupted.

Fortunately for the squads, this combat scenario was only simulated and the IED only left the Marine dirty.

Marines and sailors with Ragnarok Compa-ny, 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Logis-tics Group participated in a basic skills course at the Battle Skills Training School, or BSTS, here Dec. 2 to 6.

The training helped prepare the service members for winter training in Bridgeport, Calif., and the upcoming NATO exercise, Cold Response 2014, in Norway.

“Once we go to Bridgeport and Norway, we’re going to be up in the mountains, so having communication between squads and fire teams is important,” said Cpl. Oscar I. Me-jia, a Cleveland, Ohio, native and motor vehi-cle operator with the company. “[We need to be] looking out for each other because there’s a high risk for casualties – heat casualties, cold casualties and lack of air. We need to get that communication [ready] so we don’t mess up out there.”

Throughout the weeklong course, the ser-vice members learned and reviewed a num-ber of basic skills, including patrols, combat lifesaving, land navigation and holding entry control points at a forward operating base. The Marines and sailors also conducted 48 hours of combat operations against BSTS in-structors.

“When we get Marines here from outside of the [infantry] field, they’re going to know the basics of what to do if they get thrown into standing post or being on patrols [upon completing the course],” said Sgt. Jason B. Cox, an Evington, Va., native and machine gunner with BSTS. “It gets them outside of their box of working in a shop.”

Service members with the company are scheduled to participate in mental and physi-cal training until they leave to conduct opera-tions above the Arctic Circle.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- In Oct. 2004 a Marine was killed in a non-combat related humvee rollover near Abu Ghraib, Iraq. The Marine was manning a machine gun when the Humvee swerved to avoid a barrier and rolled over, ejecting him from the vehicle.

In May 2002, a Twentynine Palms Marine was killed and four others were injured in a rollover during a night raid exercise aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif.

Over the past decade, the Corps has com-prised training events dedicated to preparing Marines to survive a rollover and continue on the mission. Marines conduct Dry Rollover Egress Training to prevent incidents like this from happening in combat situations or dur-ing training evolutions.

DRET consists of Humvee and mine-resis-tant, ambush protected vehicle assistance training. The training starts with a class that discusses the causes of vehicle rollovers and the steps to take to get out of the vehicle and establish security.

“Rollovers can happen and they can be fatal,” said Sgt. Joseph Nicholas, the 1st AN-GLICO assistant operations chief. “The Ma-rines just need to trust their harnesses and be confident that they will get out and carry on with the mission.”

Following the class, Marines go through simulators to experience what it’s like to go through a rollover in a MRAP and Humvee.

“If you’re out there and you rollover, you need some kind of muscle memory to think back on,” said Cpl. William Thornton, a for-ward observer with 1st ANGLICO. “You have to take into consideration that you can’t let it get to you because you still have a job to do.”

DRET training also reinforces the impor-tance of securing gear in the vehicle.

“We travel around with radios in our ve-hicles and sometimes we don’t secure them down,” Thornton said. “I would hate to think about rolling over in a vehicle and having one of them hit you in the face, because that could kill someone.”

The main priority of DRET training is to em-phasize that safety is the most important part of a rollover.

“Safety is a big deal,” Nicholas said.“ We just want them to be safe and be able to carry on with the mission.”

This event provides coun-tries and defense com-panies from around the world an opportunity to further global security and share defense cooperation among many nations.

“This is important because this fosters good interna-tional and bilateral relations with Brunei,” said Lt. Col. Joseph S. Lee, the mission commander for U.S. aircraft at BRIDEX 13 and the execu-tive officer of Marine Medi-um Tiltrotor Squadron 262,

Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. “It also shows the capability of the MV-22 and KC-130J in the Marine Corps and its reach and capability. We are exercising this increased ca-pability in the Pacific area of operation, and this is an opportunity for us to show-case our capabilities. It is good for the Marine Corps to show we have the capa-bility to assist multiple is-land nations or nations that are surrounded by water, es-pecially since we just came from doing a disaster relief mission in the Philippines - Operation Damayan.”

Marines with VMM-262 took part in Operation Damayan, which was the U.S. military’s response to Typhoon Haiyan that dev-astated the Republic of the Philippines. As soon as their mission of delivering relief supplies and evacuating ci-vilians was completed, they flew to Brunei for BRIDEX 13, which demonstrates their commitment mission ac-complishment across a wide spectrum of operations.

“The capability to shift gears and execute differ-ent missions quickly is criti-cal, obviously the MV-22 is capable of a lot of things which have been illustrated by VMM-262 over the past weeks. This shows our am-phibious capabilities, and how we can go from a hu-manitarian assistance and disaster relief to a bilat-eral relationship in anoth-er country back-to-back.

It also shows that we can reach out and touch people with this aircraft in any mis-sion assigned. “

During the aviation dem-onstration, the MV-22B demonstrated its notable and unique capabilities to the assembled military, po-litical and defense business officials, including the Sul-tan of Brunei, including fly-ing low over the convention at 250 knots and transition-ing from helicopter hover mode to airplane mode quickly.

“We showed off the capa-bilities of the Osprey,” said Capt. Austin Stobaugh, an Osprey pilot with VMM-262. “Once we were in front of the stands we conducted a break and execute a 180 degree turn at 250 knots and 500 feet. As we came through that turn we took the power off the aircraft in order to come up into heli-copter mode. Once in heli-copter mode, we slide left, slide right, do a 360, and then we bow to the audi-ence. Once that’s done we like to show off the capabil-ity of how the Osprey can get up to speed, so we tran-sition into airplane mode and use our speed to show how quickly we can move.”

BRIDEX 13 also provided the Marine Corps and Air Force with a time to unite and work closely with one another, as crews of the C-17 Globemaster III and the KC-130J Super Hercules and MV-22B Ospreys spent the week together.

“As we have come out of

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom we have learned a lot of lessons and that joint capability is very impor-tant,” said Lee. “This shows the capability and reach of all our aircraft. It’s impres-sive that (the Air Force) came straight from Ha-waii, and we came straight from the Philippines, and it shows that we can work together in a joint environ-ment at a moment’s notice.”

U.S. service members also had a once in a lifetime chance to shake hands with and meet Sultan Haji Has-sanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan of Brunei, along with many international government, military and defense busi-ness officials. The Sultan toured the Osprey, C-130 and C-17 at Rimba Air Base, and spoke with pilots and crew on each of the aircraft.

The Sultan and Brunei Ministry of Defense hosted BRIDEX 13 and say they look forward to future exhi-bitions.

“I want to thank all of our guests and friends who have come from overseas to support us, and I’m glad with the opportunity for us to come together and re-new our relationships. Many of you have traveled across the globe to be here and we’re glad to have so many defense organizations here for cooperation and peace and security in the region,” said Yang Mulia Dato Padu-ka, the deputy minister of defense of Brunei.

The five-day event includes displays and demonstrations of military equipment, with the theme of bridging the capability gap. BRIDEX 13 is an opportunity for communication and cooperation with regional partners and allies, builds strong multilateral relationships and enhances preparedness for disasters and other contingency operations. U.S. participation in BRIDEX 13 demonstrates cooperative engagement with Brunei and continued commitment to regional security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point --Pilots and crewmembers from Marine

Heavy Helicopter Squadron 366 conducted tactical aerial insertion drills for emergency scenarios northwest of Marine Corps Outly-ing Field Atlantic Dec. 3.

Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 467 provided close-air support with an AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter during the simu-lated mission.

“The overall purpose of training was pro-viding the aircrew training with inserting troops in a hot [landing zone] as well as the escort’s ability to provide their role as close air support,” said Capt. Chris Ludlum, a pilot with HMH-366.

The Marines conducted the training by landing their Super Stallions along a road as the Super Cobras flew overhead.

“Everything went very smooth with the training today,” said Ludlum. “We can have the guys out of the aircraft in less than a minute.”

Speed during an aerial insertion is impera-tive. Aerial insertion training helps pilots and aircrew prepare for possible combat and hu-manitarian assistance missions.

“It all depends on the experience level of the guys we’re hauling,” said Sgt. Cory Emily, a crew chief with HMH-366. “If the passengers are more senior Marines that have conducted this type of exercise before, they generally are in and out very quick.”

The training helped crewmembers refresh their abilities to assist pilots during takeoff and landing as well as communication be-tween aircraft.

“This type of training gets us integrated with working with other air assets,” said Emily. “Today it was the [Super Cobras], coordinat-ing efficiently with them to conduct the mis-sion.”

GUIUAN, Philippines - Marines estab-lished a forward arming and refueling point in Guiuan, Republic of the Philip-pines, Nov. 16 to support ongoing relief efforts taking place during Operation Damayan.

Guiuan was heavily impacted by Ty-phoon Haiyan. Due to the city’s remote location, aircraft refuel there to facilitate the quick delivery of relief supplies and workers to Guiuan and other rural loca-tions.

The U.S. and Armed Forces of the Philippines have delivered more than 1,200 tons of relief supplies and evacu-ated more than 10,000 people through-out the affected area. With the FARP in place, the process will be more efficient.

The expeditionary refueling station provides a location for aircraft to refuel, allowing for the transportation of more supplies and evacuation of more people

affected by Typhoon Haiyan, accord-ing to U.S. Marine Warrant Officer Dan-iel Gilyard, the expeditionary airfield emergency services officer with Marine Wing Support Squadron 172, currently assigned to III Marine Expeditionary Bri-gade in support of Joint Task Force 505. Because of the forward location, the aircraft can be refueled closer to where they are needed most.

“It is important to have this system set up in order for the rotor aircraft to fly a full payload from here to the affected ar-eas. It gives them more time here where they are needed instead of flying back and forth between their home station to refuel and the affected area,” said Gi-lyard.

With large portions of the affected area unreachable by land or sea, the FARP is a critical and unique asset to the relief effort, allowing aircraft to shuttle supplies around the clock, according to U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Colby Heabner, a bulk fuel specialist with MWSS-172.

“Our mission here at the FARP is to keep the aircraft coming in,” said Heab-ner. “Today we had about 13,000 gallons of fuel and refueled about 15 to 20 air-craft. The FARP itself only took us about six hours to set up.”

Haiyan impacted more than 4.2 million people from across 36 provinces in the Philippines, according to the Philippine government’s National Disaster Risk Re-duction and Management Council.

The role of the U.S. military forces dur-ing any foreign humanitarian assistance event is to rapidly respond with sup-port to help mitigate human suffering, prevent further loss of life, and mitigate great property damage.

“The key to this situation is teamwork,” said Gilyard. “It is impossible to describe the kind of damage and devastation that has occurred in this country. It takes your breath away and makes you step back and think. It makes you want to be right beside those people who are push-ing out there to help.”

DJIBOUTI, Djibouti -- Djibouti, Africa con-tains a population of approximately 700,000, vulnerable to famine, drought and conflict in the neighboring countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. Yet, everyday hundreds risk their lives, escaping violence and poverty to seek refuge in the more peaceful and politically sta-ble environment the Horn of Africa has to offer. This is due in part to the international and U.S. forces, like Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa at Camp Lemonnier, which builds and strengthens partnerships to contribute to se-curity and stability in the region.

Thousands of refugees in the Republic of Djibouti are orphaned children anywhere be-tween the ages of 7 and 17, and only a small fraction of them fall into the devoted care of someone like Father John, who runs a shelter in the city and welcomed Marines and Sailors deployed with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to visit with the children for a few hours at his day shelter, Nov. 16.

Father John said the shelter receives pleas-ant visits from many international forces per-sonnel who seek selfless service and experi-ence life at the shelter.

The shelter is run by Caritas, an international, non-government organization (NGO) that aims to provide healthcare, promote educa-tion and support street children. The organiza-tion also tackles issues relating to women and works to provide medical care to expecting mothers.

“Caritas [exists] to welcome street children,” Father John said.

“When they come here, they spend three years at the shelter and go on to the local pri-mary school to continue to learn how to write, to read and to count.”

Marines and Sailors spent time teaching the children the English alphabet and how to spell various words that started with each letter.

Marines and Sailors then participated in a spirited soccer match with the children in the shelter’s courtyard.

“It sends a message to the community that we are their friends and that when Sailors and Marines come into their country we represent the goodness of America and we represent the idea that America cares about all people,” said. U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Darren Sten-nett, 13th MEU chaplain.

Chaplain Stennett partnered with Navy volunteers from Camp Lemonnier Chapel program to coordinate the visit. Project Hand Clasp also provided the shelter school, medical and recreational supplies.

“It’s good for the Marines and Sailors to get out and see the community,” Stennett said. “I think it’s good for our Sailors and Marines to understand what it is like in the rest of the world. It broadens them as Sailors and Ma-rines.”

Building partnerships, secu-rity

U.S. Marines prepare to refuel a KC-130J Super Hercules at the forward arming and refueling point Nov. 18 at Guiuan, Republic of the Philippines, in support of Operation Damayan. The FARP is an expeditionary refueling station, allowing aircraft a location to refuel locally. The capability allows the aircraft to carry more supplies and evacuate more people affected by Typhoon Haiyan.

OKINAWA, Japan - Repub-lic of Korea Marines visited Marine Corps installations on Okinawa, Nov. 18 – 21 to prepare for future bilateral training between the two services and to learn more about the U.S. Marines’ avia-tion combat element.

The ACE was of particu-lar interest to the ROK Ma-rines as they prepare for the scheduled stand up of a ROK Marine Corps ACE in 2017.

The visiting ROK Marines included Col. Chang Hee Yoon, the commander of the ROK Marine Corps’ Am-phibious Support Group, and three of his staff.

“During their visit, the ROK Marines visited Combat Lo-gistics Regiment 35, CLR-37, 9th Engineer Support Bat-talion and Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36,” said Maj. Christopher E. Rabassi, the exercise planner with G-3, operations and training, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. 9th ESB and CLRs-35 and 37 are with 3rd MLG, and MALS-36 is with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III MEF.

The ROK Marines learned about the U.S. Marine’s air-craft capabilities and avia-tion logistics during the visit to help them develop their own aviation capabilities.

“There are a lot of logistics that are required for the air-craft wing to operate,” said Maj. Tate A. Buntz, an aircraft

maintenance officer with MALS-36. “We showed them all of the different sections of aviation logistics, from supply and regular mainte-nance, to the aircraft being broken down for unexpect-ed maintenance, which they will need to know about while developing their force.”

While learning about the logistical side of aviation, the ROK Marines were briefed by the commanding officer of MALS-36 and representa-tives from the maintenance, aviation supply and avionics, and ordinance departments.

An increased mutual un-derstanding of each others’

capabilities also helps each service maximize the ben-efits of bilateral training and increases interoperability.

“The ROK and U.S. Marine Corps plan for future training exercises at different times,” said Rabassi. “To be able to schedule or work out details for future training, we had to meet up and discuss each other’s capabilities.”

“We are looking at some of our big [annual] exer-cises, like Ssang Yong, and thinking about increasing and elaborating [them] with more [combined] training during the exercises,” added Rabassi.

The visit strengthened a time-tested relationship and allowed the two services to continue to build upon their operational capabilities and interoperability.

“I learned a lot of good information that will help while developing our [air-craft wing],” said Yoon. “I did not realize how much went into maintaining readiness of the aircraft wing. This in-formation will be useful as we start to design the logisti-cal side of the [aircraft wing] for its stand up in 2017. I also can’t wait for future training between the ROK and U.S. Marines.”

ROK, U.S. Marines share knowledge

Republic of Korea and U.S. Marines discuss the logistics involved in maintaining an aircraft wing Nov. 21 at the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36 headquarters on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. The ROK Marines visited Okinawa to discuss future bilateral training and to gather infor-mation about the U.S. Marines aviation combat element. The ROK Marine Corps is scheduled to stand up an aviation element consisting of UH-60P Black Hawk helicopters in 2017.

Service members with Combat Lo-gistics Company 23 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort participat-ed in a field training exercise at Fort Stewart, Ga., Dec. 3 - 11.

During the week-long event, troops conducted convoys around their mock forward operating base, endured simulated firefights, impro-vised explosive devices and medical evacuations. They were given classes on IED awareness, combat lifesav-ing procedures, patrolling, making vehicle repairs with limited equip-ment in hostile situations, and more. The training site consisted of a food service facility, battalion aid station, combat operations center, armory and other combat critical facilities.

“The main purpose of this train-ing is to teach our Marines how they

would operate in a deployment set-ting,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Tra-vis Bestul, the maintenance officer for CLC-23. “This training is especially useful to the Marines that haven’t had the opportunity to deploy. Our individual roles stateside may differ, and can easily change on a deploy-ment. That is why teaching Marines where they fit in and how to adapt to change is important.”

Throughout the training exercise classes were taught to reinforce to the Marines that at a moment’s notice an event can change for the worse.

“The biggest thing here is the vast number of scenarios that could happen during a mission,” said Gun-nery Sgt. Alma Fabre, the operations chief for CLC-23. “Marines and sailors might not know what to do imme-diately, but after a while, properly

reacting to scenarios will become second nature. Because of training exercises like this one, if the Marines find themselves faced with a chal-lenge on a deployment, they will know what to do.”

The mission of CLC-23 is to provide supply support and motor transport and engineer equipment mainte-nance for squadrons in the Marine Air Wing. Throughout the exercise, Marines conducted maintenance on the vehicles and equipment that helped run the base, such as genera-tors, with minimal space, time and equipment. From flat tires, to broken down and stuck vehicles, Marines learned how to use a limited number of tools and space to make mission critical repairs.

When resupplying the base they had to stay alert and rely on what they learned from their classes and

one another. They had to keep an eye out for IED’s, attacks, injured Marines and vehicle issues. The ex-ercise made them think outside the box and get into a combat mindset when completing their normal tasks.

“I’ve deployed and can honestly say that this training environment reminds me of life on the FOB in Af-ghanistan,” said Sgt. Cesar Navarro, the motor transport chief for CLC-23. “This training has been eye open-ing for many of the Marines as they learned about how much work goes into a deployment, and the addition-al duties each Marine holds on post. Coming away from this we will all walk away with something new, and hopefully continue utilizing what we have learned to better our work en-vironment and ethic every day.”

Throughout the training exercise the Marines came together, the cor-

porals and lance corporals took on more responsibilities, they quickly learned from their classes and mis-takes, and worked more efficiently as each day went by.

“Coming out here I learned how quickly my job, as well as any situ-ation, could change at the blink of an eye,” Caramege said. “Normally I just do paperwork, but if someone attacks us I’ll have to fight, if some-thing breaks down I’ll have to help fix it. This training brought me out of my normal routine and exposed me to classes and situations that I normally don’t get to experience. I learned a lot, and will not forget what I was taught through the classes and sce-narios that we went over during this exercise. It was eye opening and gave me a better understanding for my job, and the roles I might fulfill during a deployment.”

Marines and sailors throughout the Tri-Command marched through the streets of downtown Beaufort for Beaufort’s Annual Christmas Parade, Dec 8. The cold weather and light drizzle did not stop people from going to the Christmas parade, as hun-dreds of people lined the streets and watched the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island Marine Band, sailors from Naval Hospital Beaufort, and Marines from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort marched in the parade. In addition to the service mem-bers, over 60 floats, fire trucks and other holiday themed vehicles moved through the streets. “Service members and veterans make up such a major part of our commu-nity,” said Billy Keyserling, the mayor of Beaufort. “That is why we honor them in our parade, and are proud to welcome them into our community. It wouldn’t be a parade without seeing Marines marching down the street, and hearing the Marine Band play.”
