Marine All-Weather Fighter At-tack Squadron 533, also known as the Hawks, deployed to the Western Pacific though the Unit Deployment Program, Sept. 3.

The Hawks will be participat-ing in Exercise Valiant Shield,

which focuses on joint train-ing among military forces and builds proficiency in sustaining the military’s ability to detect, locate, track and engage units in the air, at sea, and on land, according to the Congressional Research Service.

To prepare for the deploy-ment, Marines worked count-

less hours throughout the day and night to ensure everything was ready before departing Fightertown.

“This will be my first deploy-ment, but after a year of long work days and continuous train-ing I am confident in my abili-ties and look forward to seeing what will be in store for not only

myself but the squadron during the next six months,” said Lance Cpl. Eric Harte, an air frame mechanic for VMFA(AW)-533. “I’m excited to work with and become closer to the other Ma-rines in my shop, and see more of what the Marine Corps has to offer.”

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort has been striving to reduce energy usage and increase energy efficiency, with a goal of 30 percent re-duction by 2015.

Projects to reduce the energy use of the base include geothermal heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and targeting the barracks for energy reduction.

“Every little bit helps,” said Neil Tisdale, en-

ergy and utilities manager for the Air Station.Public Works has put a lot of time and ener-

gy into decreasing the energy used by the Air Station, and now it’s the Marines’ turn. Every bit of energy used on the Air Station contrib-utes to the bill, and should be used wisely and conservatively.

The barracks account for 25 percent of the square footage of the base with utility usage.

The other day a Marine was in my office checking out. He had successfully complet-ed his enlistment. He had been promoted a few times. He was getting ready to go home and get on with his life. As part of check out I ask what the best part about being a Marine was and what the worst part was. His answer to both questions was the same: leading Marines. This young Marine had a wonder-ful time leading Marines. It was fun to share what he had learned, to pass on the tradi-tions and the skills to younger Marines. Being a leader builds a person up!

But being a leader was also the worst part about being a Marine. Dealing with people who don’t know things, don’t want to learn things was the most frus-trating part of his job. Every person who leads other people can under-stand and nod the head at this one Ma-rine. There is a joy in leadership, a joy in accomplishing the task, training new Marines and being a leader. But it can also be frustrating. Every leader knows what it is like when that leader gives a speech, heads nod, and everyone says, “I got it.” But then the outcome makes it certain that they didn’t get it.

Interestingly enough the Apostle Paul ad-dresses this issue in one of his letters. He writes in his first letter to the Thessalonians in Chapter 5:

But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you es-teem them very highly in love because of their work.

Admittedly Paul is talking to church mem-bers here, and no Marine wants to talk about love, it is just too mushy, but I think that any-one who is in charge of leading people can appreciate this short list of duties that Paul

gives to Christians. And since the same Apos-tle in another place (Romans 13:4) calls mem-bers of the military “ministers of God” let’s just work our way through this list one by one. Everything Paul says about the one is equally applicable to the other.

First we should appreciate that our leaders are people who diligently labor. Another way to say that is all of us should take a moment now and then to realize that our leaders are working hard to accomplish some good things. When was the last time that you took time to realize that the boss really does work hard to do the right thing? Before we criticize and ignore our leaders, and say, “What do they do?” Let’s realize they are working hard.

Probably the Marines and Church mem-

bers who would disrespect someone are not reading this article, but just in case they are, do not disrespect your leaders, whether your leader is a corporal or a colonel, the Chaplain or the President! Appreciate that leadership is hard work. It involves being responsible for people who cannot be responsible for them-selves. Leadership involves training up new people to do the job we do now. It involves thinking!

Meanwhile, everyone in leadership really should work hard to be good leaders. For a pastor or a Chaplain the real work of min-istry is hard, for a corporal or a sergeant the real work of leadership is hard. For any se-nior leader it is almost indescribably hard. Most of the work that our bosses do we do not see, but it has to happen for us to do our

jobs. And yes, a word to leaders here: work hard! Don’t be the person sitting in the office with your feet up snoozing when you ought to be planning the next work project. Each of us who are leaders knows someone who doesn’t really lead, but I bet most of our lead-ers are working harder than we know. The word that Paul uses in Greek means to “toil, strive, struggle and to grow weary in doing so.” True leadership is exhausting. Ask our Marine who was getting out of the Corps! Look at any President after four or eight years in office. They look like they have aged a de-cade or two.

Second, our leaders people who have charge over us. They are responsible for us. In this highly individualized climate we may

not like that, but it is true. Their chief characteristic is that they should be unpretentious, or humble, words that Marines don’t often use, but we know when we meet an arrogant person who is just itching to throw someone under the bus or stab them in the back that they are not leaders. A real leader carries authority. When things are hard, a leader goes first. They have to manage things, just like a parent run-

ning a household. We may not like that, but somebody has to be in charge.

Third, they give us instruction, or even a stronger word, they admonish us. I have seen enough Gunny’s giving admonishment to junior Marines to know that you don’t need many words on this topic. Leaders some-times have to do some verbal counseling, or even written counseling. That is ok, it is part of the job. We need to hear that counsel, and leaders need to give it. We need to hold our leaders in high regard, even when they tear us up! They are only doing it to keep us safe and help us grow.

Let me thank every leader on this base. Whether you are a leader on the flight line, or in an office, the chapel or at home, keep it up. Do not become weary in well doing.

Being a leader

“We need to hold our leaders in high regard, even when they tear us up! They are only doing it to keep us safe and help us grow.”

Barracks are occupied by single Marines and sailors aboard the Air Station.

“By unplugging unused phone chargers, turning off unnecessary lights, and being cautious of water usage we can lower the Marine Corps’ energy bill,” said Tisdale.

Here are some things that everyone can do to help reduce the energy bill, accord-ing to the Public Works office.

1. Keep doors and windows closed when heat or air conditioning is on. Report any air leaks to the outside, including missing weather stripping.

2. Report excessive heating or cooling settings. The standard Base set points are 68F for heating and 78F for cooling.

3. Turn lights off whenever you leave a room. Report any lights frequently left on.

4. Turn off overhead lighting and use natural day light or task lighting when-ever possible.

5. Report any over-lit areas to Public Works.

6. Don’t leave water running when washing hands, parts, equipment, dishes or anything else.

7. Report any energy and water waste that is outside of your ability to correct.

8. At the end of the day turn off all lights, computers, monitors, computer speakers, copiers, printers, shredders, fax machines, coffee makers, and anything else that doesn’t need to be running.

“The most energy efficient items in your room are the ones that are off,” said Bill Rogers, energy management technician.

So far this year, the Air Station has met many energy goals including lowering greenhouse gases and decreasing fossil fuels, and exceeded water conservation goals.

Renewable energy goals for this year have not yet been met, “but it’s entirely possible that we will [meet them] soon,” said Tisdale.

“Renewable energy has been difficult, because it’s very expensive. We’re work-ing with Headquarters Marine Corps’ Re-newable energy office to improve,” said Tisdale.

Currently, the Air Station is 28 percent below the 2003 baseline set for energy, 37 percent below the baseline set for water and 66 percent below the baseline set for fossil fuel.

Ground crews also play a vital role dur-ing FCLP training by ensuring the aircraft in the air and the pilots are safe. If they notice anything wrong with the aircraft, they are to report it as quickly as possible so it can get fixed before returning to the sky.

“This training is vital for both pilots and maintenance Marines,” said Capt. Lanier Bish-op, an F/A-18 Hornet pilot for VMFA-251. “For pilots it helps us land within the limitations we would face while on an aircraft carrier, and build on our muscle memory which is benefi-cial when landing at night when visibility is limited. For maintenance Marines, FCLP train-ing helps prepare them for the higher opera-tional tempo they will face while on ship.”

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Marines with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, practiced Ur-ban Mobility Breaching to improve their skill set while breaching target buildings in Com-bat Town 25 aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., August 19-20, 2014. The training helped the Marines get comfortable breaching doors with a variety of explosives.

They conducted day and night breaches set in a simulated combat environment, giving the Marines an authentic look at operating within an urban environment.

“As assaultmen, it’s our main job to provide breaching for our company. We went there to practice charge construction, improve time on target and work with our breach teams to sharpen coordination skills,” said Cpl. Justin Sterr, an assaultman with the battalion.

Leading up to the range, the Marines spent several weeks practicing the physical and academic aspects of tactically employing the charges.

“Two weeks prior, the Marines began prac-ticing the basics ranging from academic class-es about the specific procedures to construct charges,” said 1st Lt. Kyle King, a platoon com-mander with Company E.

The Marines stressed properly forging the explosives to ensure the assualtmen were pre-pared to breach a door in a combat situation.

After constructing the necessary charges with detonation cord and tape, the Marines practiced in daylight and at night to make sure the live runs were safe and effective.

“They had to use different charges to defeat different parts of the door,” said Sterr. “Some of the charges were designed to defeat hinges while others were made to destroy the locking mechanisms.”

This was the first time most of the junior Marines touched any live ordnance since leav-ing the School of Infantry. The training helped those Marines get familiar with manipulating and controlling the explosives to complete the mission.

The intent is to ensure Marines can use ex-perience gained while training to apply these skills in a combat environment, said Sterr.

The assaultmen involved in the training evolution made visible improvements from the first run to the last. They made their way around minor and major obstacles to operate in a more tactical and proficient manner.

“I think the Marines did outstanding in both the day and night runs,” said King. “From the first to the last breach, the level of experience and expertise gained in that time period is ir-replaceable.”

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Marines with Helicopter Support Team, Combat Logistics Battalion 26, 2nd Marine Logistics Group partnered with Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302, Marine Aircraft Group 29, 2nd Marine Air Wing to practice single and dual point cargo lifts at Landing Zone Albatross, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Aug. 27.

During the training exercise, student pi-lots were coached and monitored on their ability to successfully maneuver the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter into position for the ground team to attach heavy loads of cargo. The task requires precision and care, as the large aircraft hovers less than 30 feet above the HST.

Cargo lift techniques are just a few of the many flight operations student pilots must be proficient in before they are assigned to an operational squadron. The training tests the pilots’ ability to manage their crew during a complicated maneuver.

“This sort of training helps cement the crew-resource management that is instru-mental to conducting flight operations on our aircraft,” said Capt. Jonathan Williamson, a CH-53E pilot with HMHT-302.

The value of external lift operations, and the training to complete them, is shown in the wide array of scenarios that they have been used for.

Major Matthew Weaver, a pilot instructor, says that the real-world application of exter-nal lift training applies to almost any support request, including: Troop emplacement, re-supply missions, humanitarian operations, and many other strategic operations.

“The training easily demonstrates the rel-evance to real-world scenarios to the student pilots,” said Weaver. “We’ve seen multiple ma-jor operations in Afghanistan that have relied on the 53’s external capabilities to succeed.”

BRIDGEPORT, Calif. – Marines with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment rap-pelled off cliffs during rappel assault training as part of Mountain Exercise 2014 aboard Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif., Aug. 29.

Marines with 3/1 will become the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s ground combat element in October. Mountain Exercise 2014 develops critical skills the battalion will need during deployment.

“This is going to require all of your core strength; you’re going to be heavy, you’re going to be tired, and a lot of you will trip and fall backwards,” yelled Staff Sgt. David K. Mwaura to an audience of Marines. “If that happens, and you pan-ic and don’t do what you were taught here, you’re going to find yourself in a world of hurt.”

“They’ve done a great job of grasping the basics,” said Mwaura, a unit training instructor with Marine Corps Mountain

Warfare Training Center. “They need to continue to build off of what they are learning.”

The training started with classes on ty-ing basic knots and rappel harnesses, as well as getting a feel for what it’s like to rappel with no gear.

“The training’s been great,” said Lance Cpl. Franklin Welke, a team leader with 2nd Platoon, Lima Company, 3/1. “This is my first time coming here and I’ve already learned so much. This is why I wanted to be [infantry], to do [training] like this. How many people can say they rappelled off a cliff today?”

After learning the basics, Marines tact-fully made their way through the moun-tainous terrain to a location two kilo-meters from their camp to begin their rappel assault with their day packs and rifles.

In keeping a combat mind-set, Marines provided over-watch and security while assault climbers set up rappel lanes and began sending Marines over the edge.

“The hardest part for a lot of the people who do this for the first time is

committing,” said Lance Cpl. Jonathan Hinojosa-Rivera, a team leader with 1st Platoon, Lima Company. “You have to have confidence in your gear and that you’re not going to fall. Once you com-mit and see how sturdy you are, it be-comes a breeze.”

After completing the rappel assaults with day packs, Marines tactfully made their way back to camp and made prep-arations for a repel assault wearing their main pack and rifle.

Loaded and ready to go, Marines be-gan to descend the cliff.

“This isn’t easy for someone doing it their first time,” said Sgt. Andrew L. Rec-tor, a unit training instructor with MC-MWTC. “Everything in your body is tell-ing you no, don’t walk off that ledge, but you have trust in your equipment and follow the technique.”

As the training came to an end, Marines could be seen reenacting and laughing at each other’s rappelling attempt.

“This is very serious training,” Rec-tor said. “But it doesn’t mean they can’t have fun doing it.”

Fightertown deployed: Corps Bits

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - More than 50 Marines with Marine Air Sup-port Squadron 1 conducted M240B machine gun and M1014 combat shotgun training during a field exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., Aug. 25.

The purpose of the range was to train Marines to qualify as instructors within the squadron using different weapon systems, said 1st Lt. Phillip Thome, an air support con-trol officer with MASS-1.

“The reason we are conducting this range is to familiarize our Marines with the different weapons systems that MASS-1 holds in its ar-senal,” said Thome, a prior infantry machine-gunner.

The Marine Corps emphasizes basic skills, said Thome, the officer-in-charge of the range. Having Marines who are capable of effectively employing the different weapons systems will help prepare the Marines of the squadron for deployment.

“The squadron now has 20 noncommis-sioned officers certified as range safety of-ficers,” said Thome, a native of Omaha, Neb. “Having these empowered Marines makes us more self-reliant.”

Instructors within MASS-1 help junior Ma-rines develop their combat skills, said Sgt. Samuel Westbrook, a tactical data systems administrator with the squadron. Most of the junior Marines have not been able to get hands-on with any weapon systems since their initial training at Marine Combat Train-ing.

“After receiving instruction and certifica-tion, it is our job to pass on the knowledge to our Marines,” said Westbrook.

As the Marine Corps shifts focus to return to its amphibious roots, the squadron plans to continue building on the basics of combat readiness, said Westbrook, a native of Sylves-ter, Ga.

“Our squadron, for the past decade, has been mainly supporting the aviation combat element, but traditionally we were with the ground combat element,” said Westbrook. “As a squadron, we need to be ready to support everyone, which means maintaining stan-dards for each Marine, not just in their military occupational specialty, but as a whole.”

The ceremony commemorated the battal-ion’s storied legacy dating back to World War II and the Vietnam War, and built by the sacri-fices of thousands who served in the unit.

“These Marines are part of something big-ger than themselves,” said Lt. Col. Corey Col-lier, the commanding officer of 1st Bn., 9th Marines. “The battalion is a living entity with its own reputation that’s built upon the peo-ple who served in it.”

While only approximately 230 Marines re-mained assigned to the battalion at the time of the ceremony, many of its former members participated to ensure the formation was filled the Battalion’s Marines. Veterans of “The Walking Dead” from the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and current wars also attended the ceremony.

“I told the Marines being with [1st Bn., 9th Marines] means something,” said Collier, a na-tive of Gallatin, Tennessee. “Having the veter-ans here reinforces that point. Even the ones who were only with the unit for a year or two recognize, 50 years later, that it was a high-light in their lives, and it will be the same for the Marines today.”

Collier stood with former commanders as the battalion marched in review and the unit received a standing ovation from “Dead Walk-ers” – past and present – and their families. He then saluted and rolled the colors one last time with the battalion Sgt. Maj. Irvin Howard.

“It’s bittersweet, but it’s just a matter of time before they unfurl the colors and activate the unit again,” said Collier. “The next time, they will be telling their Marines they owe it to those who came before them to carry the name with pride. When they say that, they’ll be talking about the Marines who are right here.”

VMGR-152 ordnancemen aim for pilots during threat reaction trainingLance Cpl. David WaltersMarine Corps Air Station Iwakuni

IWAKUNI, Japan - Pop flares. Brake right, brake left.

KC-130J Super Hercules pilots with Marine Aerial Refueler Squadron 152 practiced sur-face-to-air missile evasion maneuvers during a threat reaction evolution aboard a training island outside of Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 26.

VMGR-152 ordnancemen fired GTR-18 rockets, better known as “Smokey SAMs,” at the aircraft.

“The smoke plume is what’s identified from the aircrew,” said Sgt. Korey Norman, quality assurance safety observer with VMGR-152. “Then the pilots react. They will either brake right or brake left to evade that threat and pop counter measures.”

“Counter measures” used by the aircraft are MJU-61 infrared flares, which act as decoys for heat-seeking missiles to follow in hopes the pilots steer away unharmed.

Lance Cpl. Marcos Bocanegra, an ordnance-man with VMGR-152, was one Marine who set up and aimed the rockets at the aircraft.

“Doing these Smokey SAMs is vital for the pilots so they know what to do in case an actual rocket is fired toward them,” said Bo-canegra.

The KC-130J Super Hercules executed nine passes over the island, successfully evading nine missiles.

According to Norman, though the training is geared toward supporting pilots, it allows the Marines on the ground to gain experi-ence as well.

“The training is mainly for the aircrew, so they can receive their (qualifications) and stay current on them,” said Norman. “For us, it’s a good experience to get out into a somewhat austere environment and get these Marines trained up on ord-nance. In a C-130 platform, there’s not really a lot of ordnance for us to do, so any chance we can get our Marines out to the field and get some hands on train-

ing, then it’s good for them.”With both pilots and ordnancemen play-

ing a particular role in the evolution, Norman said their main mission is to help keep pilots ready and alert.

“If they don’t have the qualifications, then they can’t do the particular missions that require this kind of training,” said Norman. “There are things going on all over the globe, in particular, this (area of operation). We par-ticipate in all sorts of humanitarian missions and the more training we can get for our aircrew, the better. We are here to support them.”

The threat reaction evolution is a chance for pilots to stay up to date on their qualifications while keeping an alert and aware mindset for any arising combat scenario.

Cpl. Demetrius Morgan11th Marine Expeditionary Unit

FAJAR HARAPAN, Malaysia – Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, and medical personnel from the Royal Malaysian Medi-cal Corps, conducted a two-day medical and dental outreach project Aug. 29 and 30 as part of Malaysian-United States Am-phibious Exercise 2014.

The purpose of the outreach was to enhance relations with the Malaysian military and local civilian population by providing care and educating local citizens on healthy medical and dental choices.

“The most beneficial part of this has been coming together with the Malaysian medical team and together delivering medical care to the local com-munity,” said Lt. Shannon Meyer, officer in charge for the medical and dental site. “It is great seeing our docs and sailors using their

skills to help.” Being able to execute toward a

designated objective is essential to overall mission accomplish-ment, as is having the capabili-ties and knowledge to prevent and treat long- and short-term injuries and illnesses during an operation.

During the first day of the outreach, doctors treated 159 patients for physical injuries or illnesses. Following treatment, doctors provided guidelines for preventing further injuries or ill-nesses.

On the first day of the out-reach project, while doctors treated the infirm, dentists treat-ed 70 patients and gave classes on long-term dental care. This exchange of knowledge be-tween 11th MEU doctors and Malaysian doctors was not only good for training, but allowed both services to practice better communication, which is a key element to rapidly responding to medical emergencies.

On the second day of out-

reach, 11th MEU and Malaysian medical personnel treated a total 176 medical patients, 102 dental patients, and had 70 local citizens donate blood.

“They’ve welcomed us and they seem very appreciative of what we have done here,” said 1st Lt. Lyle Branch, combat support platoon commander, combat logistics company 112, Combat Logistics Battalion 11, 11th MEU. “It was a great learn-ing experience for our Marines because there are a lot of differ-ent ways to do things that we get to learn from them.”

Both forces learned a lot about

the other’s method of treatment. Many, including HM3 Gregory Deshields, a corpsman with CLB-11, 11th MEU, was greatly moved by the opportunity.

“This experience has been life changing,” said Deshields. “To be able to see through a different perspective is truly humbling and being able to help the com-munity has been the best part.”

The exercise was part of the 11th MEU’s WESTPAC 14-2 de-ployment. The MEU will contin-ue to conduct various missions and training evolutions within the U.S. Pacific and Central Com-mand area of operations.
