“They, and we, are the legacies of an unbroken chain of proud men and women who served their country with honor, who waged war so that we might know peace, who braved hard-ship so that we might know op-portunity, who paid the ultimate price so that we might know freedom,” said President Barack Obama during a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery in 2009.

Memorial Day holds a sacred spot on the calendar. Every year on the last Monday of May, Americans pause to remember

the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our na-tion.

Ever since the start of the Revolutionary War, patriots have served to defend America’s and other nation’s freedom. Memo-rial Day is a day to commemorate their sacrifices.

The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868. It was established as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.

101 Critical Days of Summer

Story by:Lance Cpl. Samantha K. TorresStaff writer

It’s that time of year again when Marines pull out the sunscreen and head outdoors.

In light of the upcoming summer months, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort held a safety stand down for the 101 Critical Days of Summer, May 18-22.

Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend is when people participate most in summer activities such as fishing, swimming, camping, grilling, hiking, sports and oth-er outdoor activities.

Although fun, everything

comes with risk, and knowing what to do in the event of an emergency is critical.

“The purpose of this class is to teach how you can be safe for others, and how you can keep yourself and others safe by making minor decisions,” said Maj. Jamahl Evans, the executive officer of Headquar-ters and Headquarters Squad-ron aboard MCAS Beaufort. “Two-thirds of all mishaps happen between Memorial and Labor Day.”

The summer months bring parties and fun, and knowing when the fun is out of control

Did you know...June 2, 1918: At dawn on this date, the German 28th Divi-

sion attacked along the axis of the Paris-Metz road hitting the American 2d Division, includ-

ing the 4th Marine Brigade. The Marines opened with deadly rifle fire and helped hand the German

troops a setback which set the stage for Marine victory at Bel-leau Wood which would soon follow, although at great cost.

Military Justice:Why it matters to you

Story by:Capt. Robert BoudreauDeputy Staff Judge Advocate

Sooner or later, you will be involved with misconduct. (Hopefully “with,” not “in.”) One of your Marines will cross a line for which the consequences may in-clude punishment, and you will have to deal with it. The following four discus-sion questions will explain the “why.”

First, what is Military Justice? It is the military’s way of holding service mem-bers accountable when they commit crimes. “The purpose of military law is to promote justice, to assist in main-taining good order and discipline in the armed forces, to promote efficiency and effectiveness in the military establish-ment, and thereby to strength the na-tional security of the United States.” As you progress in rank to the noncommis-sioned officer, staff noncommissioned officer or field-grade ranks your respon-sibility for your Marines and sailors will include mentoring, disciplining, and holding your Marines accountable for their actions. The level of accountability can range at the low end from counsel-ings and pro-con hits, to administrative separation and non-judicial punish-ment, to criminal charges at the high end.

Second, what is a court-martial? Mili-tary commanding officers have the au-thority to convene a criminal court to try crimes that their Marines and Sailors commit. The word “martial” refers to the military. Since the Department of De-fense is part of the Federal Government, a court-martial is a Federal court, mean-ing that convictions are Federal con-

victions. In fact, the DoD requires that after someone is found guilty in a court-martial, the conviction be reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in a criminal history database. After a service member leaves the ser-vice, that information can be brought up in a background check during a job application or when attempting to pur-chase a firearm. You may ask, “How is a court-martial different than a civilian court?” Keep in mind, the military has its’ own interest in order and discipline; this means that a Marine or Sailor can be prosecuted for a driving under the influence citation committed off-base BOTH by the state district attorney and the military. In some ways, courts-mar-tial are very similar to civilian courts; a military judge presides over the case; prosecutors and defense attorneys are assigned; and, if the person being tried (the “accused”) chooses, a military jury (called “members”) will decide guilt and, if there is a conviction, they will determine the sentence. As mentioned above, the purpose of Military Justice is to ensure military readiness. The court-martial process is often more stream-lined than civilian courts, so that cases can be resolved quickly and the unit can move on. It also does not require twelve jury members or unanimous verdicts to convict. However, the system is ac-cused-friendly in many ways. For exam-ple, the accused has a right to to appear at certain hearings that a civilian coun-terpart does not; also, many offenses do not carry mandatory minimums – mean-ing that Marines and sailors often get convicted of crimes, but do not receive any further punishment (reduction in

rank, brig time, etc.).Third, if I have already been dealing

with my subordinates committing mis-conduct, what is changing? Over the last few years, members of Congress have expressed increasing dissatis-faction with Military Justice, and how military crimes are handled. One of the major focuses has been to ensure that victims of crimes, especially sexual as-saults, are treated with dignity, and that the offenders are held accountable. This ongoing concern has resulted in sub-stantial changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including changes to the sexual assault laws. Further, Congress has limited commanding officers’ ability to take certain actions when deciding how to dispose of cases. To protect vic-tims’ rights, each Service has established a Victims Legal Counsel branch to pro-vide legal representation specifically for victims. New mandatory punishments have also been added for certain crimes. And perhaps most importantly, the Ser-vices have tightened-up their approach to dealing with crimes and enforcing good order and discipline.

Fourth, how does this really impact me? Let me summarize as follows: if you commit a crime, your commanding officers is more likely to take disciplin-ary action to hold you accountable, and the consequences may be more severe. If you or one of your Marines or sailors is the victim of a crime, the process has improved to ensure better protection of your rights. And, if you are responsible for enforcing good order and discipline, the system has imposed more respon-sibility on you to ensure that offenders are held accountable.

can be the differrence be-tween life and death.

Alcohol is served at events and parties, and friends shouldn’t let friends get be-hind the wheel once they’ve had a drink.

The highest at-risk group of drivers are between the ages of 17-25, and are four times more likely to have an alcohol related crash than any other age group.

Intoxication does not imply consent, so it’s important to drink responsibly.

Common causes of car and motorcycle accidents involve intoxication, fatigue, and dis-tractions.

“On average, one person dies every 16 minutes in a traffic collision,” said Sgt. Jonathan McCollum, a mili-tary police officer with Head-quarters and Headquarters

Squadron aboard Fighter-town. “There are less combat related deaths.”

Texting or talking on the phone while driving has be-come more of a trend.People in their 20’s make up 34 per-cent of distracted drivers us-ing cell phones.

“It has not been a good year for South Carolina,” said McCollum. “Here in South Carolina there has been 334 fatal accidents in 2015 so far, as opposted to 271 in 2014, and it’s only May.”

Cars and motorcycles aren’t the only forms of transporta-tion in the area. MCAS Beau-fort is located on the coastal region of South Carolina, which means boats, kayaks, jet skis, and other water sports and activities are prev-alent in the area.

Just like an individual un-der the influence in a car can get a driving under the influ-ence citation, a driver on a boat can get a BUI, or boating

under the influence citation.Matthew Martin, the con-

servation and law enforce-ment officer and game warden for MCAS Beaufort, encourages if someone doesn’t know how to swim, they should not try to swim alone.

“Rip currents are a big deal here on the east coast,” said Martin. “If you happen to get caught in one, swim parallel with the shore until you feel like the current goes away, then swim back to shore.”

Swimming and being outdoors can be fun, but it involves many potential haz-ards that can be easily over-looked. Sunscreen can save a service member from getting a Non-Judicial Punishment. A serious enough sunburn can cause problems that can take the warrior out of the fight.

“We always talk about be-ing safe in the military,” said McCollum. “Be safe and don’t become a statistic.”

Al QUWEYRAH, Jordan – U.S. Marines from Company E, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment finished off exercise Eager Lion 15 with a live-fire attack range around Al Quw-eyrah, Jordan, May 19.

Eager Lion is an annual, multinational ex-ercise designed to build military interoper-ability and continue partnerships between 18 countries and NATO forces. Eager Lion 15 took place from May 5-19.

The live-fire attack range was the culmina-tion of a rigorous two-week training sched-ule planned and executed by the Marines, Jordanian Armed Forces and British Army.

“We’ve focused on squad and platoon lev-el exercises these past two weeks,” said 1st Lt. James Hurton, Co. E executive officer. “It’s a lot different than Camp Lejeune where we are restricted to already pre-built ranges. We were able to develop our own ranges, get them approved and execute them.”

The skills learned each range during Eager Lion were combined and put to use for the final event, driving the Marines to bring all their training together to complete the mis-sion.

“The past two weeks have been leading up to this culminating event,” said Hurton. “We’re putting a heavy responsibility on non-commissioned officer leadership, spe-cifically squad leaders and team leaders.”

Machine gun fire and simulated mortar rounds kicked off the range, with riflemen standing by to rush closer to the targets. Once the suppression was deemed accept-able, a squad would move forward under cover of smoke, traversing through barbed wire and bounding toward the targets. After the riflemen passed the barbed wire, ma-chine gun suppression slowed and it was up to the squads to take ground and destroy their targets.

“The squads had to use supporting agents: Medium machine guns, light machine guns; they had to use the assault element,” said Hurton.

All nine squads successfully completed the assessment, wrapping up Eager Lion 15 and proving they retained their training.

TAN TAN, Morocco – Approximately 200 Moroccan infantrymen trained on small-arms weapons with three companies of U.S. Marines with 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, during Exercise African Lion 15 in Tan Tan, Morocco, May 15-17.

African Lion creates a foundation for in-ter-military cooperation in the future and improves interoperability between nations and builds relationships with key strategic partners within the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.

During the three-day weapons lanes event, the combined force of Moroccans and Marines trained on marksmanship skills and tactics with AK-47 assault rifles, M16A2 rifles, M4 rifles, M240B Machine guns, M203 grenade launchers, mortars, .50-caliber sniper rifles, and anti-aircraft guns.

During the exercise, the combined forces continually exchanged weapons through-out the day and coached each other on the weapons they were most familiar with.

According to Hairston, the training is all in preparation for a final combined assault exercise that will be completed at the end of Exercise African Lion 15 and will include the use of nearly every weapon system used throughout the last few days.

U.S. and Moroccan armed forces and a variety of representatives from eight Af-rican and European countries have been taking part in Exercise African Lion 15, a joint and combined exercise, in May 2015. The exercise involves various types of train-ing, including a combined joint task force command post exercise linked with an in-telligence capacity building workshop, a field training exercise, an aviation training exercise, stability operations exercise, and a humanitarian/civic assistance event.

LEÒN AIR BASE, Spain -- There’s a sharp, exhilarating blast of air that streams past the back of an aircraft at 22,000 feet. Even the warmth of mid spring is lost in the oxy-gen-starved atmosphere, where adrenaline and faith in the man behind compels them to obey the command, “Jump.”

“As soon as you get out of the ramp, you feel that pressure,” said Spanish Army Mas-ter Sgt. Sergio Martinez, a jump master with Brigada de Infantería Ligera Paracaidista, who took part in Exercise Lone Paratrooper over León Air Base, Spain, May 18-29.

One of the largest parachute infiltration exercises in Europe, Exercise Lone Para-trooper drew together service members from Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, France, Poland, the Netherlands and the United States. Hundreds of the paratroopers and accompanying aircraft took part in the op-eration.

“It was a beautiful experience, as always,” reflected Martinez after one of his jumps. “We are trying to [intertwine] our skills, tac-

tics, techniques and procedures, and bind everyone.”

A U.S. Marine KC-130J Hercules with Spe-cial-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa joined its partner nations and delivered more than 280 para-troopers in a series of high-altitude jumps ranging from 12,000 to 22,000 feet.

“Multinational training of this nature is fundamental toward ensuring NATO and our other allies are familiar with each oth-er’s procedures and tactics,” said Maj. Ben Grant, the officer in charge for participating SPMAGTF-CR-AF Marines. “It reinforces our collective sense of trust, confidence and ca-maraderie. While air delivery of personnel is one of many routine KC-130J mission sets we conduct in support of SPMAGTF-CR-AF and Marine Forces Europe and Africa, the chance to work with the professionals from all of these nations at once was a rare op-portunity and very rewarding.”

The KC-130J completed nine flights, each with multiple passes over the landing area.

The crews and paratroopers pre-breathed 100-percent oxygen to purge potentially dangerous nitrogen from their blood-streams as they pushed to more than 20,000

feet to support High Altitude Low Opening and High Altitude High Opening jumps. At that altitude, the multinational jumpers even carried supplemental oxygen tanks to breathe as they fell thousands of feet before opening their chutes.

In order to maximize the training, para-troopers from multiple nations shared the same aircraft, allowing them to work first-hand with their peers.

“We are paratroopers,” said Martinez. “It doesn’t matter the systems you have. Our tactics, techniques and procedures, if not the same, are very similar. The language is not a barrier ... In the end, we have a set of similar methods for working.”

The exercise offered similar benefits for the crew of the U.S. Marine Hercules, who capitalized on the rare opportunity to con-duct jump operations with so many partner nations.

“They’ve all been nothing but outstand-ing in their support,” said Gunnery Sgt. John Marsh, a load master with SPMAGTF-CR-AF. “It’s always great to work with people from other countries, go to new locations, and meet people from different cultures and just learn as much as you can.”

NAVAL AIR STATION SIGONELLA, Italy – In a two-week-long course led by U.S. Ma-rines, Senegal’s team of national policemen learned how to conduct vehicle searches to supplement their current procedures and strengthen their force.

The participating Gendarmerie were hand-picked from across the country and proved to be receptive of practices taught by the Marines.

A team of five U.S. Marines with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Cri-sis Response-Africa traveled to Diamniadio, Senegal, to train with 19 members of the National Gendarmerie and enhance the force’s capability to counter illicit traffick-ing through Entry Control Point and Vehicle Control Point Operations, April 27-May 10. Drug trafficking and the movement of other illicit materials into the capital city of Dakar is a significant problem for the Senegalese, according to Senegalese Gendarmerie lead-ership.

“It was a pleasure working with the Gen-darmerie,” said Burger. “I had heard a lot about the Senegalese military, especially the Gendarmerie prior to going to Senegal. The Senegalese widely respect the Gendarmerie and I heard they were a very professional organization. By the final assessment, every Marine on the team was impressed with the Gendarme’s capabilities.”

PACIFIC OCEAN – U.S. Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force participated in sustainment training aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii and Bellows Air Force Station, Hawaii, May 8-20.

This training was the last opportunity for Marines to train on land before deploying to the 5th and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility. The training included marksmanship, div-ing, helocasting, and small unit leadership.

The first two days were spent on a live-fire range. There, they qualified with their rifles and pistols, ran buddy rushes, fired from unknown distances and on sniper ranges, and practiced proper house clearing tech-niques. This gave them the opportunity to focus on the basics of marksmanship and tactics. The following training days con-sisted of fast-roping, helocasting, operating and broaching combat rubber raiding craft, and diving.

Rehearsing insert capabilities by CRRC and helocasting is essential to the MRF’s mission.

Together, the 15th MEU’s Force Reconnais-sance Detachment and a security element with enablers provided by other elements throughout the MEU make up the MRF.

The experience in Hawaii built a relation-ship and confidence between each of the Marines. They also ran through a leadership reaction course to ensure the Marines can effectively work together and solve prob-lems as a team.

At the LRC, the Marines were taken out of their usual teams and put into four to five-man teams comprised of both reconnais-sance and security element Marines. They were given different tasks to complete with limited time and equipment.

The sustainment training in Hawaii gave the Marines a break from the high intensity environment they have been working in for the past year working up to the MEU, and a chance to slow down and get back to the basics.

After wrapping up their training in Ha-waii, the Marines joined the rest of the 15th MEU aboard the Essex Amphibious Ready Group’s ships to continue on the transit through the Pacific. As they sail towards 5th and 7th Fleet, they say they feel prepared to take on any task sent down from higher.

PACIFIC OCEAN – Salt water splashes into the faces of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force as they cruise toward their objective aboard combat rubber raiding craft. As their suspected time on target gets closer, each Marine quietly considers their personal tasks and how they will protect the Ma-rine by their side.

The CRRCs slow down, and they navigate through the shad-ows toward the building they will soon breach. When they pull up to shore, a group of Marines immediately get to their posi-tions to set up a secure perimeter around the objective.

During a raid there are three main elements; assault, support and security. Marines from 3rd Battalion Landing Team, 1st Ma-rine Regiment, make up the Maritime Raid Force security ele-ment and take care of that essential mission set.

“The purpose of the security element is to support [the Force Reconnaissance Detachment] when we execute raids,” said Lance Cpl. Jesse Skelton, a rifleman with the MRF. “We provide the inner and outer cordon; we’re the first ones in to set up security so the main force doesn’t have to worry about people coming in or out, and then we’re the last ones off the deck.”

Before integrating with the MRF, the security element went through a screening process and a specialized training package to get more familiar with the way the reconnaissance Marines operate.

“During the screener, we made sure everyone could fast-rope, swim, and was in good physical condition,” said Skelton. “We also did an extended version of the [helicopter egress trainer] because we do a lot of raids with helos. During the security pack-age, we got to shoot a lot of rounds and learn more about our optics in relation to the targets.”

The Marines also learned more about maneuvering through a house, setting up an inner and outer cordon around buildings, patrolling, and vehicle interdiction.

After the security package, they started integrating with the Force Reconnaissance Detachment and worked with them throughout the 15th MEU’s pre-deployment exercise. The Ma-rines had the opportunity to learn several things a typical infan-

try unit may not get exposed to. “We trained in [rigid-hulled inflatable boats] and CRRCs; fast-

roped off different platforms; did hook-and-climbs on boats and gas and oil platforms; and learned about different types of gear,” said Skelton. “For example, Recon has some dive or jump mis-sions and we can kind of help them out by learning how to pack a parachute or set up dive gear.”

Knowing how to work the different gear, weapons, and equip-ment is important so they can properly support the mission.

“When the security element comes out for our missions, say we’re going to be doing a CRRC raid, they’re going to need to know how to start up those engines and what their responsi-bilities are on the boat,” said Cpl. Jake Warden, a member of the Force Recon Detachment. “In case we come up to the shore and one Marine goes down, they can fill in and be efficient in that position.”

This extra knowledge helps each Marine be more proficient at their job.

Skelton explained that being with the MRF is like getting to know a whole different side of the Marine Corps. The commu-nity is a lot smaller so they have more time to work on things at an individual level. Since they’re used to a different environment and way of doing things, they can all learn from each other’s backgrounds.

“Working with the security element is great,” Warden said. “Not only can we take over as mentors and teachers for them, in cer-tain things they may not necessarily know how to do or aren’t proficient in, but they can also bring us back to the basics.”

When the security element returns to BLT 3/1, they will be able to pass on their knowledge and assist the rest of their commu-nity.

“I think it will benefit us when we go back, just because we’ll have that much more experience doing different things,” said Skelton. “We’ve gotten to see a completely different side of the Marine Corps. I’m going to do my best to pass on as much knowl-edge as I’ve learned from the MRF, because truthfully, it’s not ours to keep, it’s ours to pass on.”

The MRF Marines will continue to work together and learn from each other during their deployment through the 5th and 7th Fleets. This training and sustainment will ensure they are prepared for any mission they may encounter.

women, and families here who under-stand the price of freedom, and are willing to place America before themselves,” said Col. Peter D. Buck, the commanding offi-cer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

This year, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 25. The city of Beaufort and the Tri-

Command commemorated the day with a parade through the town and a ceremony at the Beaufort Memorial Cemetery.

“It was the transcendent fortitude and steadfastness of these men who in ad-versity and in suffering through the dark-est hour of our history held faithful to an ideal. Here men endured that a nation might live,” said President Herbert Hoover during a Memorial Day address at Valley Forge, Penn. in 1931.
