arines and personnel with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort completed two mission critical tasks, ordnance disposal and a hazard reduction burn, at Townsend Bombing Range, Jan. 24. Marines with Explosive Ordnance Disposal dis-

posed of a munition to allow range personnel to safely drive vehicles around the target points. The EOD Marines are with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron and Marine Aircraft Group 31. The civilian personnel with the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Office conducted the hazard reduction burn to re-

duce the risk of wildfires and to promote growth of wildlife and vegetation. “Today we did a controlled burn of 110 acres next to the impact area,” said Eddie Reese, the forester with Townsend Bombing Range. “The hazard reduction is done to mitigate the risk of a wildfire in case a pilot misses the target area. Here in the south, wildfires

CMC Message to the Force: “Execute” From Gen. Robert B. Neller, 37 Commandant of the Marine Corps: Marines, I am writing at the beginning of the New Year to give you an update on where we are as a Corps and where we need to focus in the coming months. First, thanks to you, Sailors serving with Marines, Civilian Marines, and your families for your efforts to keep our Corps ready and relevant in today’s challenging world. Marines in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and Syria continue to distinguish themselves as professional, disciplined warriors and a critical component of the joint force. At the same time, Marines in Europe, WestPac, and South America assure our friends and deter our adversaries through their forward presence. Here at home, we are implementing the actions of the Marine Operating Concept. Specifically, we adjusted our training to contest a peer adversary and worked to improve our readiness by adopting new processes to be more innovative, fit, educated, and resilient. We are in the midst of implementing Force 2025 structure changes; modernizing our force, recapitalizing legacy systems, and meeting mission requirements around the globe. We are making key changes in all aspects of how we make our Corps more ready to compete successfully on future battlefields. We are on track with regard to people, readiness,

training, naval integration, and modernization that will make us more lethal and capable. That said, I am willing to adjust course if there is a better way. At the same time, all of us must strive to be more competent, disciplined, and safe in all things. Most importantly, we all must be willing to embrace change ... not for the sake of change, but change to make us better. The current and future operating environment is plagued with chaos and uncertainty. This uncertainty requires us to continuously look for innovative see

are the number one risk in timber management. This burn is necessary to make sure that our range is safe and ready for the pilots.” Reese and his team set up a backing fire against the wind to begin the hazard reduction burn. This created a barrier on the backside of the plot of land, in addition to the perimeter that was already set up.

Keeping safety in mind, the team began to set strip fires to burn small strips of the plot, using the wind to move the fire. “The second reason we did this burn is because it will benefit the wildlife habitat,” said Reese. “It allows continued growth and foliage for the habitat and provides the adequate space for deer,

quail, and wild turkeys to live.” In addition to the hazard reduction burn, the Marines of EOD went around to each target point where pilots drop inert munitions to check for any munitions with a spotting round in them. A spotting round is a small explosive charge see

“Dambusters” begin transition to UK

An A400 Atlas takes off aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Jan. 25. The Atlas is transporting F-35 equipment back to the U.K. in preparation for the remainder of the 617 Squadron “Dambusters” to transition from MCAS Beaufort to Royal Air Force Base Marham later in 2018. Story and photos by Cpl. Benjamin McDonald Press Chief

The United Kingdom’s 617 Squadron began its transition from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to the U.K. Jan. 25 when an A-400 Atlas departed Fightertown with F-35B Lightning II equipment bound for the U.K. Royal Air Force and Royal Navy personnel have been in-

corporated in Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 since their arrival in 2014. All U.K. personnel are scheduled to depart MCAS Beaufort for their homeland during 2018. When their move is complete, they will have moved approximately 200 U.K. personnel and their full cadre of F-35B aircraft to Royal Air Force Base Marham where they will be part of the 617 Squadron “Dam-

busters.” “We started off doing a little bit of everything,” said Squadron Ldr. Hugh Nichols, the U.K. senior national representative with VMFAT-501. “From teaching the new pilots, which is our main focus, to generating a syllabus as we looked at new capabilities and roles the F-35 can fill, and how we can teach them to the see

used to show pilots where their inert munitions impacted. If the spotting charge is still intact, then it has the potential to damage range vehicles it comes in contact with. “We came out here today because the range personnel requested our services,” said Master Sgt. Brian Diaz, the staff non-commissioned officer in charge of EOD with MCAS Beaufort. “We determined whether each munition found was hazardous, could be moved, or needed to be disposed of. We had one munition that we were unsure as to whether it had a spotting round still in it so we were able to train, utilize our explosives and dispose of the

combat. We must think, innovate, and prepare for the battlefields of the future. Complacency kills, both tactically and intellectually. As outlined in the MOC, we must adapt to the circumstances presented before us, anticipate changes, and evolve to stay ahead of emerging challenges. • Be ready – now – tonight. Our next fight will come with little or no warning. We may not have the luxury to conduct deliberate pre-deployment planning and extensive training. • We are going to have to fight to get to the fight. Our potential adversaries will not afford us the opportunity to simply deploy, stage, integrate, and rehearse prior to hostilities. • The next fight will be a battle of signatures. Assume everything we do, can and will be observed. On tomorrow’s battlefield, to be seen is to be targeted, to be targeted is to be engaged, to be engaged is to be killed, at range and with precision! • We will train to fight and win in the high end of conflict by incorporating more force on force training. Just as iron sharpens iron, we will test our new concepts and improve our continuing actions by lining up against ourselves. • We must continue to hone a similar mindset in our families and the families of the Marines we lead — resilient families are better able to balance life stressors and the stress of being separated while their Marines are forward deployed. To that end, we must celebrate our “Spartan Spouses” and ensure our families have the support needed to enable us to focus on our craft — warfighting. Lead Like You Want to be Led: Marines, as good as they are,

expect their leaders to inspire them - through their personal example, competence, and values. Marine leaders, at every level, are expected to teach, coach, and mentor. I expect leaders to be involved in every aspect of the lives of the Marines they lead. When we are personally invested in the success of our Marines — on the job and in life — we sustain the transformation and make better Marines! • Good leadership takes effort, commitment, and dedication. Initiative and creativity must be encouraged. The integrity and example of each leader must be above reproach. • We lead, on and off duty. Leadership, at every level, forms the backbone of effective Marine Corps units. Leaders foster belief – in the mission, the unit, their training, and each other. Without leadership, there is no cohesion and without cohesion, there is no will to fight. • Challenge our Marines. Our young men and women did not join the Corps because they thought it would be easy. They joined because they knew it would be hard and they were up to the challenge. The competence of the individual Marine will be more important than ever in future battlefields. Challenge them to think and act effectively under chaotic, uncertain, and adverse conditions. Give aspiring leaders the freedom to lead, make decisions and even fail. Mistakes will happen, and we must learn from them and move forward. • Demand nothing less than what’s expected of our Marines – leadership, attitude, warfighting competence, initiative, and unwavering discipline. Leaders, at all ranks, must live and model the behavior we want our subordinates to emulate. Conclusion:

Again, thank you, the Sailors that serve with us, our Civilian Marines, and our Families for all that you do. If the Nation ever needed its Marines to stand up and perform their duty, it is now. In the corning year, I challenge all to commit to do all we can to improve, to be more ready and more lethal, and to make ourselves and our units better. If we do this, together, we will continue to be the most ready when our Nation calls. In combat, we will be tested in ways we cannot imagine. Yet, if we focus on our preparedness, readiness, agility, and lethality; we will prevail on the battlefield. I don’t know where or when the next fight will come, but our Corps must be ready. This next fight will likely be very different than what we have experienced over the past two decades. The potential for great power conflict means we will be contested in every domain. We must be ready to go ... every day ... ready individually, ready as a unit, and ready as a family. Marines, we have the world we have, not the world we want… and this world requires that we get better. Better as Marines, better as Warfighters, and better as Leaders. Our service requires us to make sacrifices and endure hardships. The sacrifices we accept in defense of our Nation move the world closer to resembling the world we want, but this requires action — it requires us to execute!

It’s a daily process keeping the range ready, but we do it so our aviators can stay sharp and complete their training.”

The U.K’s goal is to achieve initial operating capability in a land-based role for the F-35B in 2018 and aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier in 2020. “The fact that we could operate with VMFAT-501 for the last few years let us be ahead of the game when it came to developing our own capabilities on U.K. soil,” said Nichols. “We are making sure that the aircraft is maintained and the U.K. is able to develop its own engineering, maintenance and air competency in order to independently operate the aircraft.” While the departure of future 617 Squadron equipment signifies a historic milestone for the F-35B program, their

3rd MAW increases CBRN readiness in aircraft decontamination Story and photos by Sgt. Brytani Wheeler Marine Corps Air Station Miramar/3rd Marine Aircraft Wing

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense Marines with Marine Aircraft Group 39 taught detailed aircraft decontamination training to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 and Marine AllWeather Fighter Attack Squadron 225 at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., Jan. 25. The Marines conducted decontamination training as an introductory-level event for squadrons in 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Rafael Trevino, MAG-39 CBRN officer. Trevino explained that each squadron should have reconnaissance, surveillance and decontamination (RSD) teams trained within their units. This training provides an opportunity for teams to conduct the physical decontamination themselves while CBRN Marines provide the equipment and gear – enabling each unit’s Marines to wash down the aircraft in an instructional environment. Each participating squadron provided at least 10 Marines to conduct the training on their aircraft and received guidance from eight CBRN Marines who have expertise in the decontamination process. “It’s important for the squadrons to get this training because logistically there are not enough CBRN Marines to do a whole decontamination,” said Staff Sgt. Garret Arrieta, MAG39 CBRN chief. “We are reducing friction and stress in training so it pays off in the real world.” DAD is a five station, fivestage process consisting of a primary rinse, application of the decontamination soap, scrub of the aircraft, a second rinse from top to bottom and front to back, and a final check with a chemical agent detector. “Today, we are doing one station with all five stages in this one location as an introductory-level event,” said Trevino. “It’s equipment and personnel intensive and requires a large area to execute.” In a full-scale decontamination, the aircraft would move 50 meters between each station and the process could take several hours. If the aircraft does not pass the monitoring stage with the detection equipment it would be recycled back to the beginning and restart the process. Arrieta explained the importance of this training for everyone involved with the aircraft in order to be ready to support the ground combat element at any time. “The mission can’t stop,” said Arrieta. “We have to get birds in the air.” Marines participating recognized the necessity

HMLA-267 Marines learned the five station, five-stage process and will now serve as subject matter experts on aircraft decontamination for their respective unit’s aircraft.

“Having confidence in the gear and actually knowing how to do [the process], given the present climate and some of the munitions our enemies may want to employ against us, lets us know [we are] ready to face up to whatever the nation may call upon us to do at a moment’s notice.” Lt.

of the training so they can work more efficiently in the future. These Marines will now serve as subject matter experts on aircraft decontamination and train other squadron personnel. “Our CBRN training is pretty rare,” said Sgt. April Saelao, F/A-18D engine mechanic and quality assurance representative with VMFA(AW)-225. “For a lot of us senior Marines, this is our first encounter with any kind of training like this but I think it’s pretty vital in the day and age we live in now because some type of contact will be more likely than none.” Leadership from the units also noticed the significance of the training which prepared Marines for whatever may come in future operations. “It’s exceptionally relevant because Marines are going to fall back on their training,” said Lt. Col. Richard Allain, commanding officer of VMFA(AW)-225. “Having confidence in the gear and being able to execute given the present climate and some of the munitions our enemies may want to employ against us, lets us know we are ready to face up to whatever the nation may call upon us to do at a moment’s notice.”

Marines from HMLA267, VMM-164 and VMFA(AW)-225 now have RSD teams with first-hand knowledge of the process to decontaminate their aircraft from a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear foreign substance. “CBRN readiness is very important for the Marine Corps at this point,” said Trevino. “We have a number of adversaries out there who we know are capable of executing this type of attack, and we know they have shown they’d be willing to use this type of attack. Just because it hasn’t happened to one of our units in our very recent history doesn’t mean it can’t happen in the future so we need to be prepared for whatever might come. This type of training ensures we’re prepared for that.”
