Christians and politics part IICmdr. Bill HolimanMCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain

The last time I wrote an article for you the theme was that Christians are to be con-scientious citizens of the state whether or not we approve of the government. Some-times we have to say that the government is wrong, but even when we do, we are to be conscientious. This time we are going to say a little bit more about what the Bible says the government is supposed to do.

Paul’s second point in Romans 13 is the ministry of the government; just what is the state supposed to be doing. He says about the government: 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a min-ister of God, an aveng-er who brings wrath on the one who prac-tices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

The state is God’s authority to do us good. It is God’s servant, an agent of wrath, to bring punishment on evil doers, and the government is to commend those who do well. Because, says v. 6, the authorities are God’s servants who give their full time to governing. These are striking statements. Paul in Greek uses the very words that we use in Church; he uses the Greek words for deacons and for liturgy to describe what the state does. Despite the powerful and vocal

objections of the officer on the WASP “those who serve the state as legislators, civil ser-vants, magistrates, police, social workers, or tax-collectors are just as much ‘ministers of God’ as those who serve the church as pas-tors, teachers, evangelists or administrators.” John Stott again.

The ministry is so much more than just preaching in a church! The MP on the beat who prevents you and me from being beaten up and robbed by bad guys is in the ministry, too. The Marine who fights to protect this country from bad guys is in the ministry! The Sailor and the Coast Guardsman who fight piracy or rescue stranded Sailors at sea are in the ministry. The other day when BGEN Terry

Williams gave a Congressional Gold Medal to our Chapel member Mrs. Ella Jackson he was doing the ministry of God. He was reward-ing the good. He was overcoming evil with good.

Now I know that this part can sound awful-ly triumphal, but the fact is that I serve in the US Navy because I believe in what the Navy stands for and does. When the recruiting tag, “A global force for good” came out a few years ago I know a lot of people didn’t like it. But I liked it. It expresses what God’s vision of the government is all about. Government is sup-posed to be a force for good. It has a ministry

assigned to it of bringing punishment on evil doers and rewarding those who do good.

That is why we pay taxes, so the govern-ment has resources to do that. Most of us remember from our history classes when government had no money, such as in the Revolutionary War. That made life hard for everyone, the soldiers and the civilians on the home front. It was to deal with this very issue that eventually the US Constitution was developed. The US needed a way to pay its debts and have a central government able to govern the country.

If anyone objects that government ought not to be involved in questions of good and evil, I can only smile and say that government

is always involved in questions of good and evil. There aren’t any other questions that government deals with in real life. Why is mur-der outlawed? Because it is bad! Why do we make all the rules that we make? Because we believe that it is good to do so, and bad not to do so.

So the summary of the matter is this, it is perfectly ok for Chris-tians to participate in the government, even one with a terrible

head like Nero. We are to be conscientious citizens. And from this article we see that government is supposed to reward good and punish evil. Civil servants, cops, Marines and those who work for the government are engaged in a ministry from God, even SGT MAJ when she yells at us from doing the wrong things.

There is one part that you might wonder about: Paul does not tell us what is evil and good in this passage. That is a topic for an-other day! But for now, we should realize that government has important functions that we cannot do without.

“Why do we make all the rules that we make? Because we believe that it is good to do so, and bad not to do so. ”

- Cmdr. Bill Holiman

Tis the season to shop and be safe!

Driving:• Keep all car doors locked and windows closed while in

or out of your car. Set your alarm or use an anti-theft device.• Do not leave packages or valuables on the seat of your

car. This creates a temptation for thieves. If you must leave something in the car, lock it in the trunk or put it out of sight.

• Have keys in hand, and ready to unlock your vehicle. • Check your surroundings, make sure no one is follow-

ing or close to you before you enter your vehicle. Lock your doors once you enter.

• Never drink and drive.• Be aware of other drivers.

ATM:• If you must use an ATM, choose one that is located inside

a store, mall, or well-lighted location.•Withdraw only the amount of cash you need. • Shield the key pad when you enter your PIN if there is

someone behind you.• Never throw your receipts away at the ATM, always re-

member to remove your card.

Shopping:• Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you

must shop at night, go with a friend or family member. • Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thou-

sand things, stay alert to your surroundings. • Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important

to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mis-

haps.• Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At

this time of year, "con-artists" may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.

Children:• If possible, leave small children at home with a trusted

babysitter. • Teach children to stay close to you at all times while shop-

ping. • Children should never be allowed to go to the car alone

and they should never be left alone in the car.• Teach children their full name, address and telephone

number to give to police officers or mall security. Teach chil-dren to immediately inform you if a stranger is bothering them.

For nearly 151 years, Americans have gathered the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for past and present blessings and those yet to come. It is one of the ironies of history that the Thanksgiving holi-day was officially established in the midst of our nation’s bloodiest con-flict: the Civil War. Just as Abraham Lincoln and his union troops did all those years ago, the Marine Corps will once again pause and reflect on the meaning of giving-thanks dur-

ing a time of sustained war. Please know that each of you - Marines, sailors, family members, and civil-ians - is a blessing to the marine corps and to this great nation, and we remain in your debt for your ser-vice and sacrifice.

This Thanksgiving, it is important that we take time to appreciate the countless blessings and freedoms we, as Americans Enjoy. In doing so, I ask that you take care of your-selves and those around you. Too

many of our Marine and Navy fami-lies have suffered senseless deaths that could have been prevented with proper attention. Know your people, know their Thanksgiving plans, and stay engaged. Sound advice can be the difference be-tween right and wrong decisions. The long holiday weekend should be a period of Thanksgiving, not a time of mourning. Enjoy the time off, but do so wisely and safely. Semper fidelis.

Tri-Command children cel-ebrated the Marine Corps’ 239th anniversary during the Chil-dren’s Marine Corps Birthday Ball Celebration at the All-Weather Training Facility aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Is-land, Nov. 15.

Unlike other Marine Corps Balls this one allows Marines to celebrate and share the occasion with their children. During the event, Marines and their families

eat, play games, and conduct ceremonial traditions such as the oldest and youngest cake cutting with the children.

“In the past two years, it has been difficult for me to take my family out and spend quality time with them,” said Staff Sgt. Thomas McQuade, a base facili-ties manager for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. “Two years ago I was stationed on Camp Pendleton, Ca., and was on a constant deployment rotation. During my three years stationed in California, I was de-

ployed and away from my wife and twin newborn children more often than not. I missed out on a lot. Events like this allow me to share why I wasn’t with them when they were younger and show them a bit more of what I do on a daily basis.”

Roxanne Farr, the Lifestyle, In-sights, Networking, Knowledge, and Skills program trainer with Marine Corps Family Team Build-ing on Parris Island, says this event is a great way for Marines and their families to spend qual-ity time and share the Marine

Corps Birthday Ball traditions with their children.

“Events like this incorporate both fun and games for kids while providing Marines with the opportunity to share what they do when they go to the Ma-rine Corps Ball, such as the cake cutting ceremony, with their children,” Farr said. “It also shows children a piece of Marine Corps life, customs and traditions.”

The ceremony featured ob-stacle courses, face painting, coloring, bounce houses, Ma-rine Corps pugil stick training for

children, a modified combat fit-ness test, and a military working dogs demonstration.

“This event is a great opportu-nity for Marines to spend quality time with their spouses and kids and become closer as a family,” McQuade said. “It got my kids asking questions about what I do and understanding that I can’t always be around, I might have to deploy and some of the tradi-tions we as Marines hold dear. I look forward to this event next year and would recommend it to all families.”

here in Beaufort,” said Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer of the Air Station. “With the arrival of the Joint Strike Fighter aboard the Air Station, and the significant amount of military construction that has gone into facili-tating the F-35’s arrival and realizing the aviation campaign plan for the Marine Corps, we can show other in-stallation commanders the future of Marine aviation.”

The mission of the MIB is to ad-dress all areas of installation support to ensure optimum, consistent sup-port to warfighters and the Marine Air Ground Task Force, and quality of life support for Marines, sailors, and their families. The MIB also guides the long-range vision for base infrastructure by assessing and shaping installations.

“With help from our fellow com-mands and installations we can lower the Marine Corps budget as a whole,” said Col. Yori Escalante, the deputy commander for Marine Corps Instal-lations East. “Installation commanders within Marine Corps Installations East, as well as the Marine Corps as a whole, have to keep open lines of communi-cation so we can support one another to continuously improve our installa-tions budgets and accomplish tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible.”

Meetings such as the MIB ensure the Marine Corps Operating Forces receive the highest possible levels of installation services and support to maintain the warfighting readiness of the Marine Corps.

“The Air Station has put its best foot forward and has done a great job,” Buck said. “I’m proud of all my Marines and thank all of those that helped or-ganize and support this event.”

As the season turns colder and frost prickles at the ground each morn-ing, Santa Claus prepares toys for the winter holidays in the hearts and imaginations of children across the United States.

The libraries aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island help get their hopeful letters answered with Santa’s Mailbox, from Nov. 24 until Dec. 15.

“Santa’s mailbox gets children into the Christmas spirit and gets them excited,” said Donna Humphreys, a library technician at the Air Station library. “It also helps them work on their writing skills and penmanship, and it’s just fun.”

Children should include their name and address just in case Santa’s elves write a letter back.

Traditions and culture are an integral part of the Marine Corps and the heritage of the United States, and traditions like this one can also open doors to resources.

“It’s a way for us to get them into the library if they’ve never been here before and show what we have to offer,” said Humphreys.

For more information, contact the Air Station library at 228-6131 or the Parris Island library at 228-1671.

Posted in the library aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort resides a lit tree, branches adorned with faces from the past and present who shaped our future.

The tree is called the Hero Tree, and it commemorates those who have died in the line of duty and those who serve for the freedom of others.

“The children love to bring their parent’s pictures and put them on the tree,” said Sharon Cooper, a library technician aboard the Air Sta-tion. “It’s important for them to be recognized and know that they’re appreciated.”

White lights on the tree honor the dead who gave their lives in com-bat, and tidy yellow ribbons are tied onto branches as well-wishes for all service members to come home safely.

Hero trees are part of a national, year-round initiative which started in 2005. The initiative focuses on honoring troops of all ages and services through sharing in community spirit and patriotic pride.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel visited Marines with the Anti-Armor Section, Weap-ons Company, Ground Combat Element In-tegrated Task Force during a Mk-153 shoul-der-launched multipurpose assault weapon (SMAW) live-fire at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Nov. 18.

Marines with Anti-Armor Section were conducting a four-day SMAW live-fire, where anti-tank missilemen (MOS 0352) were cross training with assaultmen (MOS 0351) in order to qualify on the SMAW.

“The SMAW live-fire ranges help with the muscle memory of the weapon, and apply the basics of what we’ve learned at ITB (In-fantry Training Battalion),” said Cpl. Janelle A. Lopez, assaultman with Anti-Armor Section, Weapons Co., GCEITF. “This is my first time in the field as an (assaultman), and for this train-ing, all the missilemen are learning what the assaultmen learn.”

The Secretary of Defense observed three two-Marine teams fire the rocket launcher. Lopez and Cpl. Rebecca A. Floto, assaultman, Anti-Armor Section, Weapons Co., GCEITF, served as gunners during the firing of the SMAW.

“There was a little pressure to hit the target, but I hit the target,” said Floto. “I just wanted to make a good impression to show that we’re doing very well here.”

Initiated by a Team Leader’s fire command, the Marines with the Anti-Armor Section first fired the 9mm spotting rifle in order to con-firm the range to the designated target. Once confirmed, the Marines were then able to fire the High Explosive Dual Mode (HEDM) rocket with a higher degree of accuracy.

During the Marines’ duration out in the field, regardless of whether they were firing the rocket or conducting dry runs in the cold weather, Floto said she enjoys her job as an assaultman.

From October 2014 to July 2015, the GCEITF will conduct individual and collective level skills training in designated ground combat arms occupational specialties in order to facilitate the standards based assessment of the physical performance of Marines in a simulated operating environment perform-ing specific ground combat arms tasks.

IZU OSHIMA ISLAND, Japan – Crowds gather to watch an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft land in the middle of a baseball field. The rear exit ramp lowers and U.S. Marines working with Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force members and Japanese volunteers from the local hos-pital and fire departments quickly move 600 pounds of disaster aid supplies from the aircraft onto a truck waiting nearby.

An ambulance drives to the side of the now empty Osprey which becomes a scene of con-trolled chaos as simulated patients are moved inside it on stretchers. Within eight minutes the entire process is completed and the aircraft lifts off and speeds away into the sky, showing the groups’ combined capability to respond to a crisis.

Members of the Northeastern Army, JGSDF and U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltro-tor Squadron 265, and Marine Medium Tiltro-tor Squadron 263, assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force, participated in Tomodachi relief exercise 15.2 Nov. 6-9 across multiple area in Japan.

TREX 15.2 is an annual, bilateral training ex-ercise that simulates a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief response in Japan. The ex-ercise showcases the response capabilities of the bilateral force and provides a clear dem-onstration of the capabilities of assets such as the Osprey to the government of Japan while strengthening the U.S. and Japanese alliance.

The exercise included an HADR training mis-sion, a simulated casualty evacuation, and an Osprey flight demonstration for several Japa-nese officials, including the Japanese Minister of Defense, as well as a static display.

The demonstration portion of the exercise consisted of volunteers from the Oshima Fire Department, JGSDF members, and U.S. Ma-rines performing a supply drop and simulated casualty evacuation. Because there may not be easily accessible airfields during a real disaster, the Osprey landed on a baseball field, desig-nated Landing Zone Oshima, where members of the three organizations could easily work together to unloaded necessities including wa-ter jugs, food pallets, medical aid supplies, and blankets. Following the offload of supplies, an ambulance quickly pulled to the side of the Os-prey and simulated patients were loaded and secured for transport.

The exercise was extremely successful in providing the opportunity to further perfect response plans and demonstrate capabilities that will result lives being saved.

Marines bid ‘aloha’ to Phrog

SECDEF visits Integrated Task Force Marines

Service members and civilians attended a sunset ceremony honoring the CH-46E Sea Knight at the Pacific Aviation Museum aboard Ford Island, Nov. 6, 2014. The Marine Corps will finish phasing out the Sea Knight by next year. The aircraft at the cer-emony is now part of the museum’s aircraft collection.

FORD ISLAND, Hawaii — Active and re-tired service members took pictures and reminisced in front of a lone CH-46E Sea Knight, standing in front of Hangar 79 at the Pacific Aviation Museum, Nov. 6.

Military personnel and guests gathered to say goodbye as the Marine Corps phas-es out the “Phrog” by 2015. Coincidentally, the Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 took their last flight with the CH-46E at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Oct. 29. Marine Medium He-licopter Squadron 164 will retire its Sea Knights in April 2015, and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 774 will follow later in the year.

The Sea Knight at the ceremony was one of two that came to Hawaii via the USS Peleliu during the 2014 Rim of the Pacific exercise, June 25. The second Sea Knight is at Marine Corps Base Hawaii and will eventually join the static aircraft displays by the base front gate.

The CH-46 Sea Knight was introduced in the 1960s, and used by the Purple Foxes of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364, which was re-designated in Octo-ber as VMM-364. Several models were used, including the most recent CH-46E Sea Knight. The CH-46E is 84 feet, 4 inch-es long and weighs more than 12,000 pounds. The aircraft is capable of carrying more than 11,000 pounds of supplies or personnel.

“(The Sea Knight is) absolutely a tre-mendous aircraft, very well designed,” said Capt. Ed Romagnoli, a UH-1Y pilot with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 attending the ceremony. “As old as it

was it has some design features that are still more impressive than some of the new aircraft that we have now. It’s going to be missed by the Marine Corps as a reli-able, dependable platform.”

Romagnoli, of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., flew a CH-46E from September 2009 through July 2012 when he was stationed with Ma-rine Medium Helicopter Squadron 268 at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. While flying the Sea Knight, Romagnoli said the unit accomplished many missions such as fast-rope rappelling and combat resupply.

As the Marine Corps redesigned the Sea Knight over the years, the aircraft became heavier and used more fuel. As a result, the Marines had to plan more carefully when it came to carrying troops or supplies. He said pilots would have to sacrifice either amount of time in an area or how much cargo they could take. Romagnoli said he can take his experiences working with the CH-46 and apply them to his missions as he flies UH-1Y Hueys. Romagnoli said al-though the MV-22 Osprey is officially re-placing the Sea Knight, the UH-1Y Huey will also provide support in missions.

“Together they’re going to fill the gap that’s left by the 46s,” Romagnoli said.

Lt. Gen. John Toolan, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific commanding general, thanked the Pacific Aviation Museum for hosting the ceremony.

“I don’t know much about the Phrog’s specifications,” Toolan said. “(But) I can tell you a lot about the feeling of an infantry-man when he hears that Phrog coming overhead. In most cases he knows he go-ing to get out of a hotspot ... Those Phrog pilots came into the hottest zones be-cause they knew they were needed.”

Toolan said modern Marines also have the same feeling when they got a ride from a Sea Knight after training for weeks out in the field.

“It’s a beautiful sight to see that Phrog come in saying ‘Hey, guys, you’re not walk-ing home, you’re flying home,” Toolan said. “It’s an amazing aircraft.”

Col. Sean “Kidd” Killeen, who once served as commanding officer of HMM-364 during Operation Iraqi Freedom also made remarks at the ceremony. He shared multiple stories about the CH-46s journey into combat zones, including one about Pat Donovan, a then-Marine lieutenant who received two Navy Crosses and one Silver Star for flying his Sea Knight into combat, picking up injured Marines dur-ing the Vietnam War.

“In a moment, we will bless this heli-copter in the native Hawaiian tradition,” said Killeen, referring to the static aircraft behind him. I would offer to the chaplain that although your blessing with water is humbly accepted; the blood of Marines who have been (medically evacuated) have already sanctified this aircraft. For those who have set the standard, for those who carry it and future aviators who will receive it; God bless and Semper Fidelis.”

Jay Dunn and Grady Geske, both for-mer Marines and CH-46 pilots, untied the maile lei, and Kahu Kordell Kekoa blessed the aircraft.

“I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Ro-magnoli said of his experience flying the Phrog. “I loved the experience. I loved the squadron I was with, I loved the mis-sion that I was able to do. It was great to be a part of that culture and the back-bone of Marine Corps aviation for the last 50 years.”

U.S. MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLE-TON, Calif. - Marines in the security element course posted 360 degrees of security on Nov. 6, waiting for the signal to move to their next position. This raid would be the culmination of all of the training they had gone through up to this point.

Quickly and silently, the Marines split off in their respective teams and moved to their next point of domination.

Once there, they communicated via radio to begin the assault.

Marines flowed through buildings, ensuring each one is cleared of any insurgents or targets. Once they had full security around their objec-tive point, the raid force moved in to take out the high-value target.

This final exercise marked the end of the security element course, which consisted of Marines with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Bat-talion, 1st Marine Regiment, Combat Logistics Battalion 15 and the Force Reconnaissance Detachment, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif.

This three-week course was designed to im-prove the speed and accuracy of the Marines that make up the Maritime Raid Force security element. When the 15th MEU deploys in the spring, these Marines will support the Mari-time Raid Force by providing exterior security when the raid force hits an objective, and by augmenting the personnel on that raid force.

This exercise required the Marines to plan and execute a raid in an urban environment and eliminate a high-value target while using the skills they had learned throughout the course.

The Marines split into five groups, which included two blocking positions on the road, two isolation groups to ensure buildings sur-rounding the objective building were clear and to hold security on the objective. The tac-tics the security element uses vary based on their mission, but what stays consistent is that a lot of moving parts had to work together in order to make the mission successful.

The crawl, walk, run approach to training was apparent throughout the entire course.

Learning these skills will ensure these Ma-rines are prepared to support the MRF during the 15th MEU’s deployment.

Following this course, the Marines with the security element will continue to train in prep-aration for the 15th MEU’s deployment.

“This was a foundation,” said Cpl. Collin Medford, a squad leader with BLT 3/1. “I ex-pect things to get a lot more difficult as we go through the work up and keep doing those re-hearsals as they taught us here.”

FOCSANI, Romania - Marines and Sailors from the Black Sea Rotational Force, along with members of the Romanian Land Forces and 300th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, worked hand-in-hand during training events on exercise Platinum Lynx 15 in Focsani, Ro-mania, Nov. 2-7.

Service members trained with their Roma-nian partners in patrolling, live-fire ranges and weapons familiarization classes. Marines and Romanian soldiers were eager to learn tactics, techniques and procedures from each other.

The patrol lanes integrated teams of Ma-rines and Romanian soldiers to react to simulated enemy contact. Other Romanian soldiers acted as antagonist role players, at-tacking and creating situations for the patrols to respond to; antagonists would attack from across danger areas, different flanks, and set up improvised-explosive devices to test the patrols’ reaction to different situations.

Different weapons systems were utilized during the live-fire ranges, with service mem-bers from each military handing off weapons to each other to learn how they functioned.

“The training is good for us because we learned how to use different methods for our skill set,” said Capt. Mihai Moldovan, 280th Mechanized Battalion Fire Support Company commander.

Combat lifesaver, call for fire, personnel searching and detaining and range estima-tion classes were all taught to deepen the knowledge and familiarity between forces.

“The Romanians seemed thirsty for the knowledge, they paid attention and were very motivated in class,” said HM2 Andy Chanes, senior corpsman for Weapons Co., 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines.

Sporting events and shooting contests were also held between the two militaries, fostering brotherhood and competition.

The training provided at Platinum Lynx 15.3 continued to build upon the two countries established relationship of cohesion and in-teroperability, assuring a long-standing part-nership between them.

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. - The air was filled with antici-pation as service members and civilians stood by, watching as Sgt. Maj. Karl Villalino, Combat Center Sergeant Major, aimed an M14 service rifle from the 1,000-yard firing line. After a few seconds, the sergeant major pulled on the trigger slow and steady, and fired the first round of the 55th Annual High Desert Regional Shooting Competition, Nov. 13.

“I am absolutely honored to take this first shot,” said Vil-lalino. “This is what Marines do.”

The competition is a four-day competition in which service members and civilians com-pete with rifles and pistols in both team and individual matches.

“This competition has been going on one year longer than the inter-service competition,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Duane Ledford, Combat Cen-ter Shooting Team. “The inter-service competition is where all

the services come together and compete with the service rifle from 200 to 1,000 yards.”

The event started with the individual 1,000-yard competi-tion. On the second day, par-ticipants competed in the team 1,000-yard competition. On the third day, the 200, 300 and 600-yard competitions for both in-dividuals and teams were held.

“The last day is where the shooters work toward their Ex-cellence in Competition, where individuals can earn points to-ward becoming a distinguished marksman,” Ledford said.

Being a distinguished marks-man allows Marines to replace their traditional shooting badges with the distinguished shooter medal. Participants receive points through get-ting medals in events like the High Desert Regional Shooting Competition.

Staff Sgt. Wayne Gallagher is the head coach of the base shooting team. This year he re-ceived four new members.

“Last year, I trained all the older members of the club,” Gallagher said. “This year, I had

the guys I trained help train the new members, so they can have the techniques reinforced in them as they teach the skills they learned.”

Gallagher encouraged the team to focus on the team as-pect of competitions rather than the individual portion. The dif-ference between the individual and the team matches is during the team matches, the team can coach the person firing and tell him what they believe will get

the shooter a better score. In the individual match, the competi-tor is left alone.

“The team uses the indi-vidual competition to pre-pare themselves for the team matches,” Gallagher said. “They take the individual matches to find what they need to do to improve for the team matches.”

After the four days of shoot-ing, the competition was con-cluded.

PENANJONG GARRISON, Brunei Darus-salam – Royal Brunei Land Force service members and U.S. Marines train for mili-tary operations on urban terrain during exercise Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training Nov. 13 at the Penanjong Garrison.

CARAT 2014 is a nine-country, bilateral exercise series between the U.S., Bangla-desh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Ma-laysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thai-land and Timor-Leste.

“MOUT training is very important, be-cause most combat takes in today’s world takes place in urban areas,” said RBLF Lt. Syuiab Hjmeraj, a platoon commander with 1st Battalion, RBLF. “This training is a big adjustment for us, because our main focus was jungle warfare before this.”

Throughout the course of the week, U.S. Marines trained with RBLF service members in MOUT tactics, techniques and procedures that have been devel-oped and refined following several years of urban warfare. They participated in classes covering topics such as learning to clear entire buildings, and how to do so through windows and doorways, as well as by moving through individual rooms.

“MOUT was largely introduced to the

Marine Corps in Vietnam and became a priority during the war in Iraq which saw Marines going from building to building,” said U.S. Marine Sgt. Jordan M. Nold, a squad leader with 2nd Battalion, 9th Ma-rine Regiment currently attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. “[This train-ing provides] a three-dimensional look at an urban environment, and gives us the ability to effectively clear an area in all di-mensions on the streets, in the buildings, on the rooftops and anywhere else that there may be a threat.”

The bilateral training provided all the service members involved the opportu-nity to compare tactics and techniques to further improve on current methods and develop new ways of operating, ac-cording to U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Luke A. Racavich, a rifleman with 2nd Bn., 9th Marines.

“Looking at the way we normally do MOUT and compar-ing with the way someone else does it, is probably one of the best ways to learn these kinds of tactics,” said Racav-ich, a rifleman with

2nd Bn., 9th Marines. “There’s a lot of dif-ferent ways you can go about clearing a building, and I’ve learned more than a few new ways to do that throughout this training.”

The CARAT maritime exercise series promotes regional security cooperation, mutual understanding, and enhances in-teroperability among participating forces. This is achieved through partnership and bilateral training that allows those in-volved to also share their culture with one another and strengthen relationships.

“They were very eager to learn,” said Racavich. “[Everyone] gets excited while training, and we have to slow down a bit, but they did really well. I was actu-ally surprised that there wasn’t much of a language barrier, but they were very kind, liked to hold conversation and just overall good people.”
