New Combat Pistol Program aims to be more combat-oriented

Staff Writer

Marines aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beau-fort began shooting the new Combat Pistol Pro-gram course of fire, Oct. 17.

Guidelines for the implementation of the new program were released last March in Marine ad-ministrative message 168/13.

The new pistol qualification program marks the first significant change in pistol qualifications since the 1980s, incorporating reduced time lim-its and a new, human-shaped target. The 20-inch-wide, 40-inch-tall gray target depicts the image of a man that includes details such as facial features and upper body muscles.

“Instead of giving shooters 10 minutes to shoot off 15 rounds, the new course requires the shoot-er to draw their pistol from the holster every time

Movin’ on up: Corps implements new promotion requirementsStaff Writer

New promotion elegibility requirements were released in Marine administrative mes-sage 521/14, Oct. 16.

The changes, which take ef-fect Oct. 1, 2015, will require

Marines to complete addi-tional courses to fulfill their professional military educa-tion requirements and be eli-gible for promotion. The new requirements were brought on by changes to the mission of the Marine Corps and is-sues such as hazing and sex-

“Marines, this has been amazing, said Ayres. “You have all helped me immensely and made this experience tru-ly enjoyable. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done.”

Ayres took command of VMFA(AW)-224 in May 2013. He was assigned with the Fighting Bengals twice, serv-ing as the assistant opera-tions officer, pilot training officer and logistics officer for the squadron.

Shand was assigned to Ma-rine Aircraft Group 31 and Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533 twice throughout his career. While assigned to MAG-31, Shand served as the Weapons and Tactics Instructor. While as-signed to Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533, he served as the schedules officer, flight officer, training officer, assistant maintenance officer, maintenance officer and executive officer for the squadron.

“I really look forward to working with my fellow Ben-gals and seeing where we can take the squadron,” Shand said. “Lt. Col. Ayres has left big

shoes for me to fill, but has also left me with a squadron of great Marines to help me fill them. Thank you all for your support.”

As the incoming command-ing officer, Shand will con-tinue to prepare the squadron for future deployments and training exercises.

“Ayres, you have truly en-riched the history of the Ben-gals and etched your mark in Marine Corps Aviation,” said Col. William Lieblein, the command-ing officer of MAG-31. “You did it all during one of the most dif-ficult periods of the F-18, from aircraft flaws to manpower shortfalls. Within your time as the commanding officer, MAG-31 struggled with aircraft avail-ability but the Bengals didn’t seem to struggle. It’s not like the Bengals had more aircraft, it was his leadership and the hard-working Marines under his com-mand that carried the squadron. They were able to fly more, train more and even support other squadrons during their flights and exercises all while complet-ing their mission and exceeding expectations.

“Shand, we are excited to have you here and look forward to seeing what you’ll accom-plish and where you’ll take the Bengals under your command. Welcome to Beaufort.”

or a command-sponsored Lance Cor-porals Leadership and Ethics Semi-nar. They will be required to com-plete both at the start of next fiscal year.

To attend the seminar, lance cor-porals must complete the Leading Marines online course first, said Staff Sgt. Ross Woller, career planner for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31. “They should also attend the seminar within the first 12 months of getting promoted.”

For corporals, in addition to the Corporals Course Distance Education Program, they must complete the Resident Corporals Course as well.

Sergeants will be expected to com-

plete the Sergeants Course DistanceEducation Program and the Resident Sergeants Course. These require-ments won’t take effect until Oct. 1,2016.

“Before these changes, corporals and sergeants only needed to com-plete one of the two courses,” Wollersaid.

Staff sergeants competing for gun-nery sergeant must also take two courses. They must complete the Ca-reer Course and either the ResidentCareer Course or the Career CourseSeminar Distance Education Pro-gram.

Changes to promotion require-ments will also affect Marines in the Active Reserve and the Selected Ma-rine Corps Reserve.

and only gives them a few seconds to shoot off 40 rounds throughout differ-ent drills,” said Master Sgt. Henry Gonza-lez, the training chief for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “This new course of fire is more combat oriented and helps them further develop their combat mindset.”

The new pistol course training blocks require personnel to work through dif-ferent courses of fire at seven, 15 and 25 yards, using 40 rounds in a series of five to 12 second increments.

“The new target is designed to better prepare Marines for combat,” Gonzalez said. “Rather than just aiming at the cen-ter of a silhouette, the new target points out and educates Marines on which areas of the body are most critical and pushes them to make more head, chest and other lethal shots.”

The size of the 10 point section of the target is much larger in the new target, meaning shooters will most likely see improvements in their scores. The in-

creased size of the target and scoring potential was made to direct Marines toward where to shoot to make more fatal shots in combat.

“The new course of fire is a lot more en-joyable to shoot and seems much more realistic,” said Staff Sgt. Anthony Col-lier, an imagery analyst for Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224. “I enjoyed having to draw my pistol from the holster and having limited time to squeeze off my rounds. Although your shooting time is restrained, the target is much more forgiving.”

Although the course of fire changed, the scoring system and the marksman-ship badges remain the same.

“I highly encourage all staff noncom-missioned officers and officers to not only take the new course of fire, but to encourage their NCOs and junior Marines to shoot on the pistol range as well,” Gonzalez said. “By getting our junior Marines and NCOs on the range we can better prepare our Marines for future combat operations and make our force more effective.”

In the Marine Corps there are two leadership objectives which guide Marines in all tasks and situations. The primary objec-tive is mission accomplishment and the second is troop welfare.

Marines with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 accom-plished their mission of pro-viding security to the barracks aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort while standing post and met the secondary objec-tive by recognizing the signs of a Marine in distress.

Sergeant Michael Doering, a mobile facilities technician, and Lance Cpl. Craig Rezek, a ground support equipment technician, were able to intervene in a po-tentially fatal situation, Sept. 23,

as they escorted a Marine in dis-tress to safety.

The acronym R.A.C.E., recog-nize, ask, care and escort, is used to help service members know the signs of behavioral changes and acknowledging a possible issue while helping the individ-ual find professional help.

“The most important thing to remember when faced with [these situations] is your train-ing,” said Doering, who was standing duty when the inci-dent occurred. “We are given the skills and knowledge to handle these situations; it comes down to having the courage to act on it.”

After recognizing that a Ma-rine was in distress, Rezek alert-ed his chain of command and the Marine was able to seek pro-fessional help.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, in 2012, 319 United States service members were lost due to suicides, 48 suicides and more than 180 at-tempts were within the Marine Corps. According to the DoD’s 2013 report, active-duty suicides dropped by nearly 19 percent in 2013, going from 319 to 259.

"You can’t fix everything and help can always be found through the chaplains, behav-ior health professionals, Ma-rine family life counselors—it’s about getting the Marine pro-fessional help," said Jeanette Smith, Marine Corps Community Services Marine and family pro-gram trainer.

Preventing military suicide is one of the Department of De-fense’s highest priorities. Sui-cide can affect families, friends,

unit morale, cohesion and unit readiness.

"Suicide has the ability to tear apart unit cohesion and it af-fects everyone who has had di-rect and indirect relationships with that person," said Smith, a Shreveport, La., native. "One person can make a difference and everyone is at risk of suicide including themselves, and edu-cation on how to detect signs of suicide is what the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Class is all about."

“It is important to be involved in your Marines lives,” said Doer-ing. “You spend more time with each other than your families. You are in the best position to keep an eye on your fellow Ma-rines.”

Suicide prevention is a con-tinuous effort. Because of the

actions of Doering and Rezek, a potentially fatal situation was averted.

Suicide prevention is not just a class or training, but a proactive strategy to maintain readiness, morale and well-being. Suicide training is frequent, focusing on peer-to-peer support, interven-tion and getting help early.

Marines in distress can also utilize a free anonymous phone and chat counseling service called the DSTRESS Line at (877)476-7734. The service of-fers Marines and sailors people to talk to including veteran Ma-rines, corpsmen, Marine Corps family members and clinicians.

For more information about resources available or for help with suicide please contact the DSTRESS Line or Jeanette Smith at 228-1569.

U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Ospreys from SPMAGTF Crisis Re-sponse-Africa prepare to conduct aerial recon-naissance of landing zones, at night, in sup-port of Operation United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia, Nov. 1.

Lance Cpl. Andre Dakis

CORPS BITS

MONROVIA, Liberia - The Armed Forces of Liberia and U.S. forces are building Ebola Treatment Units to provide care for critically ill Liberians infected by Ebola.

“Expanding patient care capacity is a critical step to cutting into the logarithmic growth rates in Ebola transmission,” said Joseph Siegle, Director of Research at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in Wash-ington D.C.

The two units currently under construc-tion by the AFL in Tubmanburg and Sinje will house up to 100 patients each once completed. The construction of the ETUs by the AFL is part of a larger joint effort with U.S. forces to bring more patient capacity to the Ebola-stricken nation. The Liberian gov-ernment plans to build up to seventeen of these facilities. Engineers from the Liberian force are also working on road projects to improve access to ETUs following the end of the rainy season that caused roads to flood and mud to build up making the roads im-passable.

“The AFL has the constitutional responsi-bility to respond to natural disasters and en-gage in other civil works as may be required or directed,” said AFL Chief of Staff Brigadier General Daniel D. Ziankahn about the AFL’s support to their fellow Liberians and gov-ernment during the current crisis. “Accord-ingly AFL personnel are working profession-ally and robustly to assist the government to contain and eradicate the deadly Ebola virus out of Liberia.”

Helping the Armed Forces of Liberia are Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Army National Guardsmen part of Operation Onward Lib-erty, which began more than five years ago. Onward Liberty is a separate, but coordinat-ed effort with Operation United Assistance.

Ebola is responsible for more than 4,000 deaths. With more than 8,400 people in-fected by the virus in at least 7 countries, the number of deaths is expected to rise, according to the World Health Organization.

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - More than 40 Ma-rines with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regi-ment conducted an embassy reinforcement operation during Exercise Bold Alligator 2014 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Oct. 29.

The Marines from the battalion boarded two MV-22B Ospreys with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 162 at Marine Corps Air Station New River and landed at the Military Operations on Urban Terrain town here.

The purpose of the training was to deploy an air assault force capable of providing em-bassy reinforcement and fixed-site security. The event is one of many exercises scheduled as a part of Bold Alligator.

“What is really special about this exercise is we have Ambassador David N. Greenlee out here, a U.S. Department of State ambassador,” said Capt. Douglas Rendall, the tactical exer-cise control group Camp Lejeune site control-ler. “So the Marines flying in here today are going to have as close to real-world experi-ence as we can replicate.”

In addition to having a U.S. ambassador present for the exercise, there were more than 80 role players acting as protesters to give the Marines a more realistic training en-vironment.

Rendall said the embassy reinforcement exercise is another example of the Marine Corps’ ability to be the nation’s 9-1-1 force. Rendall said with the war in Afghanistan coming to an end, the Marine Corps will be able to focus on crisis response, which he be-lieves is important for the future of the Corps.”

The battalion is participating in the exercise to prepare for the unit’s upcoming deploy-ment as the ground combat element for the Black Sea Rotational Force. Embassy rein-forcement is one of the many tasks that the unit may be required to support as part of the crisis response force.

In November, the unit will travel to the Mus-katatuck Urban Training Center in Indiana, where they will again team up with VMM-162 to conduct embassy reinforcement and non-combative evacuation operations in conjunc-tion with Bold Alligator.

Bold Alligator is a scenario-driven, simula-tion-supported, amphibious assault exercise and is the largest exercise held on the East Coast. The exercise is scheduled to be con-ducted through Nov. 10.

Marines complete operations in Afghanistan

Liberia, US build Ebola treatment

Marines and sailors with Marine Expeditionary Brigade – Afghanistan load onto a KC-130 aircraft on the Camp Bastion flightline, Oct. 27v. The Marine Corps ended its mission in Helmand province, Afghanistan, the day prior and all Marines, sailors and service members from the United Kingdom withdrew from southwestern Afghanistan.

Regional Command Southwest

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – The final elements of Marine Expeditionary Bri-gade – Afghanistan loaded onto aircraft on the Camp Bastion flightline in Afghanistan, and departed Helmand province for the final time Oct. 27.

The Marine Corps completed operations in the region during the early afternoon when the final eight Regional Command (South-west) helicopters landed at the command’s intermediate staging base at Kandahar Air-field, ending more than five years of con-tinuous Marine Corps operations in Helmand province.

“It’s an historic day for the Marine Corps, but more importantly, it’s an historic day for the Afghan National Security Forces,” said Brig. Gen. Daniel D. Yoo, commanding gen-eral, Marine Expeditionary Brigade – Afghani-stan. “The security of Helmand is up to the ANSF, and I am confident in their abilities to continue to succeed.”

ANSF in HelmandAfghan National Security Forces in Hel-

mand province were virtually nonexistent just six years ago. Colonel Anthony Hender-son, the MEB-A operations officer, first ar-rived in Helmand as a battalion commander during 2008, and says he has seen monu-mental changes in the ANSF’s capacity and capability.

“The ANSF were not an existing force in 2008,” Henderson said. “There were police organizations in the district centers that were very weak and lacked capability, and there was almost no Afghan National Army pres-ence here in any form beyond a battalion or brigade size. When I came back here, the size of the 215th Corps and the capabilities of the Corps were a dramatic change.”

The ANA’s 215th Corps and the Afghan Na-tional Police will continue to provide security for the province, something they have been doing with very minimal support from Inter-national Security Assistance Forces through-out the past two years.

During May 2014, the Marine Corps’ last brigade-level advisor team left Sangin, a once insurgent stronghold. Since then, the Marine Corps provided no ground support to the ANSF. The ANSF held control of all district centers and maintained freedom of move-ment between them, coordinating between various pillars to successfully accomplish their mission.

“I think from a security perspective they are ready,” said Col. Morgan Mann, the se-curity force assistance director for MEB-A.

“They have proven that throughout the last year. They have done it alone out in the bat-tlespace. They have proven time and again, especially during this past fighting season. They did it completely on their own on the ground, and I think that is a testament to their readiness and their ability and confidence to go on next year.”

While the Army and police have proven they are capable of taking the fight to the enemies of Afghanistan, sustaining the suc-cesses they have made during the past five years will be determined in the months and years to come.

“If they continue to follow what they have developed, they will be trained well enough,” Henderson said. “They will be able to con-tinue to overmatch the insurgents they en-counter. They will overmatch them tactically, as an ANA soldier against a given insurgent, and overmatch them operationally through battalion and brigade operations against in-surgent district operations.”

Tactical RetrogradeUpon the departure of the Marine Corps

and their coalition counterparts from the United Kingdom, the Marine Corps trans-ferred Camp Leatherneck, an expansive Ma-rine Corps forward operating base located in central Helmand province, to their Afghan counterparts.

Approximately 6,500 acres were transferred back to Afghan control, giving the ANA a large base that includes a nearly 11,500-foot-long runway, providing them with the con-tinued ability to coordinate ground and air operations in Helmand province.

“I think we left as little as we could and as much as the ANA could handle,” said Col. Doug Patterson, the MEB-A logistics officer. “We could have probably taken down a few more buildings and things like that, but the Afghans were our hosts and they wanted that capability. So we left it for them, giving them the opportunity to operate that camp, which will allow them to further their opera-tions in the future.”

Months prior to leaving Helmand province, the Marine Corps worked diligently to get their equipment out of Afghanistan and leave the base responsibly. During the final 45 days in Helmand province, 191 C-17 equivalents of gear were flown out of the province and the outer perimeter of the base was reduced. To help ensure their ANSF partners could sustain what was being transferred, Marines conducted an 8-week course encompassing everything from generator maintenance to airfield operations.

“It was definitely a daunting task, but the ability for everybody to coordinate and work

together toward a common goal was just outstanding,” Patterson said. “Just to see the individual Marine and how hard they worked on a day-in, day-out basis was wonderful to see.”

Marine Corps legacy in HelmandThe day prior to the Marines’ and British ser-

vice members’ final departure from Helmand province, the RC(SW) command held an End of Operations ceremony. During the cer-emony, the Marine Corps cased the RC(SW) battle colors for the final time and lowered the NATO, U.K. and U.S. flags, leaving only Afghanistan’s flag waving outside the head-quarters building.

“People ask what we did here and whether it was worth it,” said Sgt. Maj. Doug Berry Jr., the MEB-A sergeant major. “We were success-ful. We are leaving here knowing that every-thing we worked for was accomplished. We met our objectives. Those who have come here and did not go home, or went home different, should know that we finished for them. The families should be proud of that. The United States flag coming down the way it did was significant. It was more than just a ceremony. It was a good day for the United States and a damn good day for the United States Marine Corps.”

During the Marine Corps’ approximate five years of combat operations in Helmand province, more than 350 Marines were killed on the battlefield and thousands went home wounded.

“The Marine Corps teaches so much about our magnificent performances and our suc-cess of winning in combat throughout our history,” Berry said. “When you become a Ma-rine and get an opportunity to go forward deployed, you automatically want to go. With that comes a side that we are prepared for. Those Marines who died did so doing something that they wanted to do, and that is honorable. It is truly honorable because they raised their right hand and said they wanted to serve and support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The fact that they have passed serving their country in combat is part of what we do.

“We knew what our mission was here. We had to finish our mission here in Af-ghanistan and we did that. And we rep-resented everyone who has ever been here, those past and present, those who were changed here and wounded in ac-tion, and those who died on the battle-field. What we did in RC(SW) was finish. We finished what had to do, what we were charged with doing, and we did it with courage, we did it with honor.”

HURLBURT AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 sup-ported United States Special Operations Command with an aerial delivery and inser-tion at Hurlburt Air Force Base, Fla., Oct. 24.

Two KC-130J Super Hercules departed Hunter Army Airfield, Ga., traveling to Hurl-burt, where 50 SOCOM operators and four Combat Rubber Raiding Craft were loaded onto the aircraft.

The Hercules flew at staggered altitudes al-lowing for the boats to be dropped out of the first aircraft. Once the boats hit the water, the operators jumped, said Capt. Tyler E. Burn-ham, a naval aviator with the squadron.

“One of the best qualities that VMGR-252 has is our flexibility,” said Burnham, the mis-sion commander for the flight. “We will go into a mission with initial planning and have crews capable to adjust to changes on the fly and successfully complete the mission.”

The staggered approach was not initially planned, but through crew coordination and communication, the timing was excellent be-tween aircraft, said Burnham, a native of Uni-versity Place, Wash.

“All the Marines on this Detachment Flight Trainer are scheduled for be on a future de-ployment with the Special Purpose Marine

Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response,” said Master Sgt. James R. Holdaway, a crew master with the squadron.

According to Holdaway, a native of Manas-sas, Va., the training helped build unit cohe-sion and prepared Marines for future mis-sions they will conduct while deployed. The Marines use every opportunity to train and refine their capabilities, with the goal of safely supporting future operations.

For aerial deliveries and free-fall aerial inser-tions, crew masters must go to Little Rock, Ark., for specialized training.

“Safety is always important, especially when dropping something as large as two Zodiacs stacked on top of each other,” said Holdaway.

HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD, Ga. - Gliding over mountain tops and maneuvering through deep valleys, Marines with Marine Aerial Re-fueler Transport Squadron 252 honed their tactical navigation skills and Assault Landing Zone techniques at Hunter Army Airfield, Ga., Oct. 23.

Tactical navigation training simulates a combat environment where ground threats cause pilots to maneuver aircraft through disparate terrain to conceal their location and evade threats.

The two KC-130J Super Hercules aircraft left the airfield in a section formation and traveled in tandem prior to the start of the training.

“In order to avoid radar threats, the Hercu-les flew as low as 500 feet to blend into the terrain,” said Capt. Mike A. Jordan, a naval aviator with the squadron.

According to Jordan, tactical navigations maneuvers are routine movements for the squadron while deployed with the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response.

“This type of training is great for pilots because it gives them an idea of what the aircraft is capable of,” said Jordan, a native of Decatur, Texas.

During the training, pilots simulate flying in a hostile environment, said Capt. Orlando R. Samudio, a naval aviator with the squad-ron.

“The route we flew was great for a tactical navigation,” said Jordan, the mission com-mander for the flight. “There was a lot of ter-rain that we could bank around and use to mask the aircraft, unlike Cherry Point where the terrain is mostly flat.”

Before the aircraft took off, the air crew was informed on possible threats along the planned flight path, said Samudio, a native of Austin, Texas.

After the TAC NAV maneuvers, the Marines performed several assault landing zone landings, allowing the pilots to enhance their landing skills.

In a threat environment, the aircraft have the ability to land on both improved and unimproved landing strips, said Samudio. If a mission requires, Hercules pilots can land on a dirt road or in a field.

During the training, the pilots performed the ALZs at Pope Army Airfield, a much smaller air strip than the full sized Hunter Airfield or Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

“The purpose of ALZs is simple,” said Jor-dan. “They make pilots better at landing and minimizing the ground roll of the aircraft.

Joint Terminal Attack Controller Marines

I Marine Expeditionary Force

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Five Joint Ter-minal Attack Controller Marines climbed aboard a Bell UH-1N Twin Huey on the Las Pulgas softball field and minutes later were inserted into Deluz Combat Town aboard Camp Pendleton, California, Octo-ber 27.

The Marines’ role in the combat town was to assist a notional ground combat unit as its forces conducted high-value target search. When targets of opportu-nity arose, the JTAC Marines were there to coordinate close air support.

“Upon insertion into Deluz Combat Town, we established an over-watch posi-tion on a high-value target,” said Sgt. Frank Southammavong, a Joint Terminal Attack Controller, currently attached to 3rd Bat-talion, 1st Marine Regiment.

The training conducted in Deluz offered a situation different from many previous exercises, which are regularly held in open

areas surrounded by hills. During this ex-ercise, the JTACs were operating inside a developed urban environment where sightlines were shorter, and obstructions were taller.

“We get to utilize controls with real-life aircraft; there are simulated enemy forces concealing themselves within different buildings,” Southammavong said. “We are able to utilize a Geographical Reference Guide so we can pinpoint exactly which buildings to watch. We have a GRG here on the groundside and a GRG on the air-side.”

When the team received confirmation that friendly forces were moving, fire shifted to protect the friendlies, and when the whereabouts of the high-value target was revealed, the notional infantry unit breached the building, said Southamma-vong.

“The building was secure and the ma-neuver element began searching for Im-provised Explosive Device-making mate-rial or anything that could contribute to

any future attacks,” Southammavong said. “By the time they secured the high value target, all of the enemy forces were either neutralized or destroyed.”

This exercise allowed the Marines to interact with one another in a simulated combat environment and make decisions based on the training they received, said Staff Sgt. Octavio Meza, a Joint Terminal Attack Controller currently attached to 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment.

“Training collectively gives us the op-portunity to build unit cohesion, increase productivity and focus on mission accom-plishment,” said Meza.

The training concluded when the simu-lated high-value target was captured and transported back to Las Pulgas with the Marines aboard the Huey, said Meza.

“My takeaway from this training is being able to track friendly forces while still try-ing to conceal our team without getting spotted and trying to basically coordinate as many attacks as I could to support the mission,” said Southammavong.

A Bell UH-1N Twin Huey drops into the Deluz Combat Town to retrieve five Joint Terminal Attack Controller Marines after receiving confirmation their mission was completed aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., October 27. The JTAC Marines assist the primary ground forces by establishing com-munication with aircraft in order to achieve their simulated extraction mission.

I Marine Expeditionary Force

CAMP PENDLETON, Ca-lif. - Marines with 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I Marine Expe-ditionary Force, conducted a helicopter mishap drill at Ma-rine Corps Base Camp Pendle-ton, California, Oct. 27.

The drill gave personnel the opportunity to practice every step of responding to a dis-abled aircraft including coordi-nating all agencies involved in the response and rescuing the crew.

“Our scenario today is based on a UH-1Y helicopter, which has a crew of four, going out on a local mission doing a fa-miliarization flight within the area,” said Capt. David Novak, the aviation safety officer for Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd MAW, I MEF. “They experience a failure in flight and the aircraft crashes, rolls and catches on fire.”

Actually mobilizing person-nel and going through every step of the response process

gave the Marines a more com-plete perspective of how pre-pared they are to deal with a real incident, he added.

The drill gave new person-nel the experience of reacting to a situation and applying the skills they learned during en-try-level training to the unit’s procedures.

“We have a lot of people who have never done this before,” said Novak. “For some people their first exposure to the steps is looking through a binder and figuring out what to do next.”

Sergeant Miguel Corral, an assistant section leader for Air-craft Rescue and Firefighting, Headquarters and Headquar-ters Squadron, 3rd MAW, I MEF, explained that the drill helps Marines build important skills and work together as a team.

“They learned how to con-serve the air in their tanks,” said Corral. “They learned each oth-er’s strengths and weaknesses and how to implement them.”

The drill also included per-sonnel from the base fire de-partment who are integrated

into the response plan for this type of incident.

“We have a mutual aid agreement with them so, any time they respond to anything in [our area], we respond with them,” said Corral. “If some-thing like this happens off station, they come out to sup-port us.”

Novak explained that sched-uling and setting up the sce-nario for the drill takes a lot of coordination.

“We talk to the tower, range control, the base fire depart-ment, and ARFF on the air sta-tion to let them know,” said No-vak. “For four to six hours, we shut down the entire squadron

and everything people are do-ing is dedicated to the drill.”

However, Corral explained that by involving all of the personnel and protocols that would be involved in the case of an actual crash, the training’s effectiveness was maximized.

“Birds don’t go down every day, but in case they do we like to train as realistically as pos-sible,” said Corral. “This is about as realistic as we can make it.”

Complex training exercises like the helicopter mishap drill help ensure I MEF and the Ma-rine Corps remain America’s Expeditionary Force in Readi-ness—able to respond to any crises, any time, anywhere.
