Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 conducted Strike Fighter Advanced Readiness Program training at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 4-22. The training both pilots and aircrew personnel receive during the exercise hones the air-to-air skills a squadron needs for a six month carrier battle group deployment.

Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 conducted Strike Fighter Advanced Readi-ness Program training at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 4-22.

The training both pilots and aircrew personnel receive dur-ing the exercise hones the air-

to-air skills a squadron needs for a six month carrier battle group deployment. SFARP consists of a comprehensive academic syl-labus and a 15 sortie flight syl-labus. The carrier air wing ex-ecutes its SFARP syllabus every two years to ensure they are ex-ecuting the latest tactics, while increasing overall squadron readiness in preparation for de-

ployment aboard aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt.

“The SFARP is a focused, unit-level training exercise conduct-ed under the auspices of the Air Combat Training Continuum,” said Capt. Jason Robertson, flight officer with VMFA-251. “The SFARP is directed by Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, and is implemented by the Strike

Fighter Weapons Schools.”According to Robertson, the

course follows a “walk before you run” approach to re-enforce the tactical undergraduate level of training received during their initial F-14 and F/A-18 instruc-tion, but rapidly progresses to graduate level training on the latest fleet tactics.

Both the East and West Coast

Weapons Schools are respon-sible for SFARP which is the first part of the Fighter Advanced Training Program. Aircrews spend two weeks at their home station attending 18 lectures on aircraft weapons systems, tactics and F/A-18 employment from

Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort conducted field exercise 2-14 aboard Ft. Stewart in Hinesville, Ga., July 30 through August 8. Also participating in the exercise were Marines from Combat Logistics Company 23 and Marine Wing Com-munications Squadron 28 from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

The tasks within the exercise provide opportunities for Marines to train within their respective jobs while getting back to the basics of liv-ing in the field, weapon familiarization and land navigation.

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort is focusing on meeting and exceeding Department of Defense and Marine Corps goals for energy efficiency. While large-scale efforts, helped the Air Station meet its goal in 2013 to reduce energy usage by 30 percent, individual ef-

forts can produce equal benefits.

The Air Station has met goals for lowering green-house gases, improving energy efficiency, using more renewable energy and less fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and gasoline. The Air Station has also met and exceed-ed water conservation goals.

“We’ve met our goal but

we’re still doing projects to reduce further,” said Neil Tisdale, Air Station utilities director and ener-gy manager. “The federal government has set a lev-el of energy for each base to meet and a percentage below that baseline to set as a goal. The Air Station has met and exceeded the

Are you a “Flapper” or an “Eagle?” The per-sonal discipline of delayed self-gratification has been proven to be a major factor in successful people. For those of us in the military, our core values demand that we live by this self-discipline. Any of you who have been deployed away from family and friends know this very well. On the more practical and yet humorous side, “Hurry up and Wait,” is practi-cally a mantra we all begrudgingly know by heart.

Those of us (I am sure most) who have any struggle with waiting fall into the category of “Flappers.” I “flap” a little more when I have to wait in line at lunch or when someone on the road is doing 40 mph in a 55 mph zone. To be a “Flap-per” all the time may lead you to resemble a chicken in more ways than you want. What I wish to encourage is the movement we all need to become more like Eagles.

Eagles, in contrast, the majestic bird king of nature, know how to wait and use the wind to soar to the heights of heaven or to skim the tops of a crystal blue mountain lake. Human beings who may be catego-rized as Eagles are those who have learned through wisdom, which is knowledge gained through time and experience, to pa-tiently wait on “all things to work together for good.” (Rom 8:23)

Stanford University psychology researcher Michael Mischel demonstrated how impor-tant self-discipline (the ability to delay im-

mediate gratification in exchange for long term goal achievement) is to lifelong suc-cess? In a longitudinal study which began in the 1960s, he offered hungry 4-year-olds a marshmallow, but told them that if they could wait for the experimenter to return af-ter running an errand, they could have two marshmallows.

Those who could wait were found to be successful/ happy later in life. The resisters were more positive, self-motivating, persis-tent in the face of difficulties, and able to

delay gratification in pursuit of their goals. They had the habits of successful people which resulted in more successful marriages, higher incomes, greater career satisfaction, better health, and more fulfilling lives than most of the population. Those who did not, those having grabbed the marshmallow were more troubled, stubborn and indeci-sive, mistrustful, less self-confident, and still could not put off gratification.

This story classically illustrates the con-ventional wisdom that most of us including this preacher can get caught up in. In other words, “you got to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps!” However, in my experi-ence, you may try to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps but more often than not

what you come up with are broken boot-straps. In fact that is what the Bible talks about. We will always end up with broken bootstraps if we attempt to do anything without or beyond God’s help or will.

The Bible has many passages that deal with the virtue of patience and even how God’ wishes to give us patience as a fruit of His Spirit. The prophet Isaiah writes that “those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” (Isaiah 40:31). Perhaps

the verse that most comes to mind when confronted with situations that require me to wait, hope, or trust in God is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own under-standing; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Eagles, while they may learn to wait for the right conditions to soar, did not create the wind or the wings upon which to learn to soar. Who gave them the instinct or the wings to soar? Without God these things would be impossible. God may not always answer our concerns immediately. Sometimes we need to learn from the delays, silence, and obstacles that God may design or allow to occur. These are often the tools God uses to teach us to trust Him. If you know this God of love the way Jesus Christ has revealed then you have no reason to doubt that even in our darkest mo-ments God is still alive and working for our good. So choose this day to turn your “flap-per” tendencies over to a faithful and loving heavenly Father and fly with the eagles!

art’s facilities and training environment,” said Lance Cpl. Trenton Sees, an engi-neer equipment operator for MWSS-273.

Several projects and mis-sions in the middle of FEX 2-14 included setting up and breaking down alu-minum matting (AM2), making an apron for Ft. Stewart’s runway, setting up Marine Corps Expedi-tionary Arresting Gear, and Base Recovery After Attack.

The runway apron will serve a purpose for Ft. Stewart long after MWSS-273 leaves.

“Anytime you have more than one plane landing or taking off, [the apron] is where some would stay,” said Gunnery Sgt. Tommy

Daniel, an engineering equipment chief for the Sweathogs, of the apron. “It keeps planes from in-terfering with traffic on the runway.”

Other projects, though less permanent, are vital training for the participat-ing Marines.

Marines set up interlock-ing AM2 as a makeshift runway with twelve and six foot segments of matting laid out similar to a brick pattern.

They also set up MCE-AG to build proficiency, said Staff Sgt. Lineberry, an expeditionary airfield systems technician with MWSS-273. The arresting gear took nine hours to set up with a limited crew, im-proved from the previous 13 hour set up time with a full crew.

Later, MWSS-273 con-

ducted a Base Recovery After Attack.

“If we’re in combat, the first thing we need to do when attacked is repair the airstrip to continue to put aircraft in the air,” said Capt. Nicole Jansen-Hin-nenkamp, operations of-ficer for MWSS-273. “If we deploy and are attacked, we would be able to fix the airfield to make the Avia-tion Combat Element op-erational.”

The BRAAT includes as-sessing damage, medical actions, cleanup and get-ting basic mission necessi-ties back on line.

Training such as this field exercise is a vital way to make note of and fortify weakness, increase ability, ensure consistency and improve overall quality of work completed.

An urgent safety situation was brought to the attention of the Provost Marshal’s Office, Aug. 14.

On both days, numerous cars drove past a bus stopped for stu-dent pickup. The bus had its stop sign out and red lights flashing.

It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus. Motorists driving on South Carolina roads should be aware of state law mandating all motorists to stop for a stopped school bus with flashing lights under these conditions:

If you are on a two-lane high-

way, travelling in either direc-tion, you must stop;

If you are on a multi-lane high-way traveling behind the bus, you must stop;

If you are on a multi-lane high-way and meet a stopped school bus heading oward you, you do not have to stop but should simply slow down and pass with caution.

The fine for passing a stopped school bus can be as high as $1,000 and up to 30 days in jail for a first offense.

When approaching a stopped school bus proceed with cau-tion.

B or higher, or else they will be subject to “recoupment” and may have to pay out-of-pocket cash retroactively for the class’s costs. These changes were en-acted by Defense Department officials, according to a DoD press release an-nounced, Aug. 10.

“Service members who receive an in-complete grade for a class will have to repay their TA money unless they fail to complete the class and convert the in-complete into a satisfactory grade,” said David Ellard, the education service offi-cer for the Tri-Command. “Tuition Assis-tance also no longer covers laboratory fees or other fees that come on top of tuition. Service members may have to pay out of pocket for those fees.”

The DoD’s TA costs have soared in re-cent years as the benefit became more generous, school costs increased and more service members sought to par-ticipate. But now, as the Pentagon is fac-ing long-term budget cuts, officials are scaling back the level of payments and

revising some eligibility rules.A Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Cmdr.

Nate Christensen, said the new policy’s aim is to improve student performance and exceptions will be granted on an in-dividual basis.

“Setting stricter minimum grade re-quirement standards for coursework when a service member is using TA funds is part of an overarching strategy to improve military student success,” Christensen said, during a press confer-ence Aug. 8. “Tuition dollars and mili-tary student time is both limited and valuable so we want them to maintain focus and understanding expectation is critical.

“Military students are not traditional nor are they full-time students given their military duties and responsibili-ties. Therefore, on a case-by-case ba-sis waivers to the Department’s policy may be authorized for service members who fail to meet the minimum grade requirements standards of volunteer education programs with extenuating circumstances, such as deployments, changed duty schedules and other cir-cumstances outside their control.”

federal goal of using 30 percent less energy than the baseline.”

The efforts of individuals aboard the Air Station can directly impact the environment. Pollution pre-vention and minimizing impact play a large role, Tisdale said. To save energy, unplug electronics and chargers when not in use and turn lights off when not at home.

With 25 percent of the base energy usage consisting of the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters alone, conservation efforts are now tar-geting the single Marines and sailors.

“By installing [water efficient] shower heads, energy efficient light bulbs and central air units, we are saving a lot of money, but we need the help of individual Marines to do better,” said Tisdale. “By unplugging unused phone

chargers, turning off unnecessary lights, and being cautious of wa-ter usage we can lower the Ma-rine Corps’ energy bill.”

Several projects that have helped reduce energy include changing the lamps on base to reduce electricity use, as well as putting aerators in shower heads, and changing flush valves to sig-nificantly lower water use.

By being green and changing personal habits, Marines can work hand in hand with Public Works in saving the Marine Corps’ utility funds, which could be used for operational and recreational uses. According to a DoD press release, in 2013, the Marine Corps spent $300 million on utilities alone. The money used to power lights, cell phone chargers left in out-lets and other unused electrical devices, are the same dollars that can be used by the Marine Corps for bullets, equipment and troop welfare events.

MARINE CORPS AIR GROUND COMBAT CENTER TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. – Brit-ish Royal Marines, with United Kingdom Amphibious Forces, participated in Large Scale Exercise 2014 aboard Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Aug. 8-14.

LSE 14 is a bilateral training exercise be-ing conducted by 1st Marine Expedition-ary Brigade to build U.S. and partner forces’ joint capabilities through live, simulated, and constructive military training activities.

“Initially, the idea for this exercise was to bring some combat elements out and par-ticipate in LSE 14,” said Capt. Ben Sercombe, a commander in the United Kingdom Am-phibious Forces, British Royal Marines.

Unfortunately, the Royal Marines weren’t able to bring any combat elements, said Sercombe. So instead, they became an op-erations staff trying to understand how the U.S. Marines operate, especially at the plan-ning level.

The Royal Marines are in the process of refocusing on conventional warfare, and stepping away from the counterinsurgen-cy operations they’ve conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Sercombe. They’re interested in seeing how U.S. Marines are making the switch back to normalcy.

“Over the last two weeks, we’ve been en-gaged with our counterparts at the com-bat operations center,” said Sercombe. “Not only does that build relationships, but it also builds understanding on how we can do the same operations and collaborate more in the future.”

It’s important that the Royal Marines and U.S. Marines work together, because of possible future coalition operations, said Maj. Tjarko Leungen, an operations officer from the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps.

“I think we can benefit from this exercise, because we can get used to each other,” said Leungen. “[The training] is slightly dif-ferent, but if they practice in training to-gether they could potentially be great.”

After working together throughout LSE 14, the Royal and U.S. Marines have learned more efficient ways to conduct forthcom-ing joint exercises.

“I hope there will be plenty of opportuni-ties for our Marines to work together more often in the future.” said Leungen.

TRØNDELAG REGION, Norway – U.S. Marines, in coordination with their Norwegian counterparts, are sched-uled to conduct a pre-planned Single Ship Movement and offload of military equipment from a Maritime Preposition-ing Force ship in the Trøndelag region of Norway mid-August.

This equipment will significantly en-hance the readiness of the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway by placing approximately 350 containers of gear and nearly 400 pieces of heavy roll-ing stock into the storage caves.

Specific equipment which will greatly increase the program’s readiness in-cludes M1A1 Main Battle Tanks, Tank Retrievers, Armored Breeching Vehicles, Amphibious Assault Vehicles, Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) Gun Trucks and several variants of the MTVR 7 ½ ton trucks. Planning for this equipment re-fresh began in the fall of 2013.

This offload will be the first time a newly constructed pier in the region will be tested, providing an opportunity for Marines and their Norwegian counter-parts to work an offload while increas-ing the operational readiness of the pro-gram significantly.

This routine equipment refresh also emphasizes the strong military bond between the U.S. and our Norwegian counterparts and sustains an already solid foundation for future cooperation. This Single Ship Initiative also improves interoperability between the nations, enhancing access to a key strategic re-gion within the US European Command area-of-responsibility.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Crawling under barbed-wire with his team, Sgt. Christopher J. Chapman heard a loud “Pop!” and his Marines yelling, “Gas, gas, gas!,” as white smoke poured out into the once quiet wooded area.

After donning their gas masks, all chaos broke out.

Through machine gun fire, impro-vised explosive devises, flashing strobe lights, banging, screaming, and CS and smoke grenades, twenty-nine Marines and soldiers negotiated the night in-filtration course at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., July 31.

The 22-obstacle course was the final event of the 14-day sapper leader’s course hosted by 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion.

The sappers, an Army term for engi-neer, participated in the course to learn leadership qualities that they can ap-ply to the job once they return to their original unit and pass on to other Ma-rines.

“We will have trained them to be an engineer leader from all aspects of en-gineering and how to put it into a lead-ership position,” said Sgt. Ryan A. Eng-lish, a sapper leader’s course instructor

was a 36-hour event designed to test the students on everything they have learned. According to English, to com-plete the 36-hour event, the Marines had to negotiate the night infiltration course “through 260 meters of com-plete chaos.”

“The last 36 hours have put every-thing they have learned here in class rooms and with practical application into play,” said English.

With the periodic explosions of smoke and gas coupled with machine gun fire testing the Marines’ physical and mental fortitude, the instructors added in an extra challenge. Each team of six or seven students had to success-fully carry four ammo-cans across the finish line while wearing flaks, Kevlars, gas masks, and carrying rifles.

The night infiltration course is de-signed to push Marines to their limits so they can better accomplish their mission during stressful situations.

“The night brings your surround-ings in on you,” said Chapman, a squad leader with Bravo Company 4th CEB. “It disorients you and makes tensions run a lot higher, which causes the Marines to conflict. It takes time to work those differences out and find that happy medium to accomplish our goal.”

Throughout the course, the instruc-tors stressed the importance of team-work and communication.

“The course is a physical and mental challenge,” said English. “They have to work as a team. We have built them to use the team through all events, and now they are really going to have to use that.”

Chapman said the biggest challenge of the night for him was working to-gether and not letting emotions take hold so the team could make it through the course.

“I couldn’t have made it through this course without my fellow sappers,” said Chapman. “You had to rely and give 100 percent to your fellow sappers or they wouldn’t give it to you.”

For the instructors, they always re-late the training scenarios to real world combat situations. All of the instructors at the course have multiple deploy-ments, and they try to pass on what they have learned throughout their ca-reers to the students so they can gain confidence in their own skillsets.

“Accountability and the confidence that you have in the engineer field is going to save lives,” said English. “Using the knowledge that you have, doing it right and making sure everyone around you is safe is most important.”

FUERTE AGUAYO, Chile— As a part of Partnership of the Americas 2014, service members from different nations spent the day getting familiarized with partner nation helicopters in order to increase proficiency in joint humanitarian assistance/disaster relief operations here, August 15.

Marines from 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines, Marine Forces Reserve, as well as service members from Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Canada participated in air craft familiarization training which included periods of instruc-tion on the uses of the CH-46 Sea Knight and the MI-17 Hip, their capabilities, medical evac-uation procedures and proper procedures for getting on and off the helicopters.

One of the most important benefits of mul-tinational exercises like POA is the fact that all the participants will be able to exchange their experiences, expertise, and will gain new knowledge about each other’s culture and people.

Later in the day, service members had a chance to go live and were flown around the training area to practice getting on and off the aircraft as well as medical evacuations.

This was all in preparation for a final, mock amphibious operation that will take place later in the exercise. The exercise will enable all the partner nations to come together and provide the necessary assistance to a village constructed specifically for POA 14. Service members will have to deal with medical evac-uations, crowd control, and other situations that are common when providing HA/DR.

POA is designed to enhance joint and com-bined interoperability, increase the combined capability to execute amphibious operations, peace support operations and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief missions and further develop strong and lasting relationships the U.S. Marine Corps has established with Part-ner Nations naval infantries/marine corps.

IWAKUNI, Japan - Service members with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 began preparations for Exercise Forager Fury III, Aug. 15, at the harbor aboard Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Iwakuni, Japan.

With Forager Fury III slated to commence in September, MWSS-171 is preparing the equipment they intend to use for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat flight training, as well as combat support training.

Marines and Japanese contractors began the loading of approximately 300 units of heavy equipment into a barge that will travel to Tinian.

“Loading our gear is just the first step to getting the exercise under way,” said Warrant Officer Matthew Hansen, the mobility officer for MWSS-171. “We can’t complete our mis-sion without the proper equipment, that’s why we have to make sure we work diligently and efficiently to prepare the gear before it heads to Tinian.”

Hansen said there is a lot of work that goes into getting the equipment on to the barge. Humvees and bulldozers have to be lifted via an All-Terrain Crane on to the vessels deck, then secured in place, as well as driving 7-tons and Logistics Vehicle Replacement trucks, better known as LVSRs, into the barge’s cargo hold.

All the heavy lifting is done while Marines and Japanese contractors move in and out of the cargo hold, as well as on and off the ves-sel deck.

“One of our main goals during the loading process is to ensure the upmost safety of the Marines throughout their time in the harbor,” said Lance Cpl. Javier Flores, an embark spe-cialist with MWSS-171. “Any accident out here will not only slow us down, but it also has the potential to set the entire exercise back.”

Flores added that the process of moving the equipment on and into the vessel is like an elaborate machine; all the moving pieces work in unison to accomplish the mission flu-ently with no friction.

As MWSS-171 Marines complete their work at the harbor, the vessel will make one more stop in Okinawa before concluding its jour-ney at the Tinian port.

Marines with 1st ANGLICO provide security for units operating in Helmand provinceCpl. Cody HaasRegional Command Southwest

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan – During the early morning hours before sunrise, Marines with 1st Air Naval Gun-fire Liaison Company donned their gear for a security operation in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Aug. 8.

Marines mounted in vehicles and convoyed approximately two hours from Camp Leatherneck to Patrol Base Boldak to redeploy excess supplies while 1st ANGLICO provided over-watch security.

“It went very well,” said Cpl. Steven Peterson, a joint fires observer with 1st ANGLICO, Regional Command (South-west). “We had about nine months of a predeployment workup. We completed exercise Burmese Chase with our Unit-ed Kingdom counterparts and received Joint Tactical Medicine training before

deploying to Afghanistan.”First ANGLICO Marines provide a

way for units to receive air, ground or naval gunfire support in situations on the battle space where U.S. or coalition forces have identified a threat or target in their area of operation.

The Marines ensured units such as 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion and Combat Logistics Battalion 1 were safe by constantly verifying the surround-ing area with Marines operating aircraft above, tasked with providing air sup-port for the convoy.

“First ANGLICO is designed to pair up with units operating in or around a Marine combat area,” said Capt. Aaron Tyler, a fire control team leader with 1st ANGLICO. “We partner with coalition forces that do not have fire support units with them.”

A unit such as 2nd CEB specializes in route clearance and may have a need to

call for fire support during an operation but does not have the capability. One or two ANGLICO Marines will attach to the unit for the duration of the opera-tion for added security.

During the nine-hour security opera-tion none of the units had any incidents or vehicles break down.

“We are prepared for anything,” said Peterson, a native of Quincy, Massachu-setts. “We train for a very high standard of efficiency. We handle any close-air or fire support. We find the target, and cri-tique everything in each scenario so we can handle anything on the fly. Every-one knows what they have to do and what part they play. We are all very well trained in our field.”

Marines with 1st ANGLICO deployed to Afghanistan from Camp Pendleton, California, during May. The Marines re-lieved 2nd ANGLICO after a six-month tour in Afghanistan.

Sailors with the Amphibious Construction Battalion Two begin to lower the ramp from the lighterage craft on the St. Johns River to Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 7. The off-loading of equipment from the U.S. Navy Ship Seay is part of a month long Maritime Prepositioning Force Exercise where Marines with Combat Logistics Regiment 25 and sailors are working together to re-famil-iarize themselves with maritime operations and help maintain their abilities for crisis response missions.

Capt. Joshua Diddams11th Marine Expeditionary Unit

USS MAKIN ISLAND, Pacific Ocean – Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Amphibious Squadron 5 were afforded a rare opportuni-ty to visit Iwo To (formally known as Iwo Jima) while transiting through the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility Aug. 16.

Through the natural course of transit while deployed during WESTPAC 14-2, the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group sailed close enough to the remote is-land to make the visit possible.

“We’re extremely grateful to the Japanese Maritime Self De-fense Force for the opportunity to visit this hallowed ground where warriors from both na-tions fought with honor, disci-pline, and devotion,” said Sgt. Maj. Troy Black, sergeant major of the 11th MEU.

For Lt. Cmdr. Bradley Hayes Abramowitz, Amphibious

Squadron Five Cryptologic Re-source Coordinator, and one of six members of the group whose relatives fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, the visit was especially meaningful.

“This place holds a double meaning for me,” said Abramow-itz. “First, as a military historian, it represents one of the sacred locations very few have the pros-pect to visit. More personally, it is an opportunity to visit a location where my great-uncle, William Hayes, fought as a member of the 5th Marine Division and attempt to vicariously re-live an event that would impact him, and our family, for the rest of his life.”

With the majority of the 11th MEU’s Marines based out of Camp Pendleton, California, the chance to visit the iconic Pacific island steeped in Marine Corps lore was an opportunity of a life-time.

“You could see how much ev-eryone wanted to be there,” said Lance Cpl. Laura Raga, a produc-

tion specialist with the 11th MEU. “Everyone wanted to climb the mountain.”

While on the island, Marines and sailors visited numerous me-morials emplaced throughout the battlefield. Their route includ-ed Mt. Surubachi and the island’s famous black sand beaches.

During the 36 days of combat on Iwo To, 27 Medals of Honor were awarded for actions of the men who fought there. Admiral Nimitz further immortalized the battle with his famous summa-tion: “Uncommon valor was a

common virtue.”The 11th MEU deployed from

San Diego on July 25 and is cur-rently deployed to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations as a sea-based, expeditionary crisis response force capable of con-ducting amphibious missions across the full range of military operations.

The MEU’s major subordinate elements are Battalion Landing Team 2/1, Marine Medium Tiltro-tor Squadron 163 (Reinforced), and Combat Logistics Battalion 11.
