  • Running Toward Gunfire: Marines, British Forces Repel Insurgents Attacking Camp Bastion Story by Sgt
    NEWS Running toward gunfire: Marines, British forces repel insurgents attacking Camp Bastion Story by Sgt. John Jackson CAMP BASTION, Afghanistan – Sergeant Rasheem Thomas never thought his first night working on Camp Bastion would turn into a gun battle with 15 insurgents. When Thomas was told he was transferring from 1st Platoon to 2nd Platoon, the landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 2, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, thought nothing of it. Instead of working on Camp Leatherneck, Thomas would be working at the rotary wing Arrival Departure Airfield Control Group on Camp Bastion, an adjoining base ran by British Armed Forces. He would be responsible for getting coalition forces and cargo on helicopters departing Camp Bastion’s airfield heading for remote forward operating bases throughout Regional Command Southwest’s area of operations. Thomas’ first night on Camp Bastion was Friday, Sept. 14. He and a fellow sergeant were driving through a checkpoint close to the airfield when they heard an explosion. (Read the STORY) Always remembered, never forgotten: Marines honor fallen brothers Story and photos by Cpl. Mark Garcia CAMP BASTION, Afghanistan – Hundreds of Marines gathered to honor the lives of two fallen comrades killed during the attack on Camp Bastion, Sept. 14. During the two separate memorial ceremonies, which were held Sept. 19 and 20, Marines paid tribute to Lt. Col. Christopher Raible and Sgt. Bradley Atwell. Both were killed in action while engaging the enemy. Raible was the commanding officer of Marine Attack Squadron 211, from Huntingdon, Pa., and Atwell was an aircraft electrical, instrument and flight control systems technician with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16, from Kokomo, Ind.

  • Marine Wing Support Squadron 272
    LTCOL TERRENCE O’CONNELL SGTMAJ WILLIAM McCoy MARINE WING SUPPORT SQUADRON 272 Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 was activated on June 6, 1986 at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. MWSS- 272 was organized from the assets of Marine Air Base Squadron 26, Marine Air Base Squadron 29 and Detachment “A”, Marine Wing Support Group 27, which were deactivated on 5 June 1986. Since 1992 MWSS-272 has provided essential engineer services to 2D Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) by conducting horizontal and vertical construction, providing bulk fuel services, significant utility support, and Motor Heavy Equipment (MHE) support. The engi- neers of MWSS-272 also specialize in K-Span construction with the ABM and UBM, Rapid Runway Repair (RRR), soil stabilization/ dust abatement, Base Recovery After Attack (BRAAT), and Air Base Ground Defense (ABGD). In July 1993, MWSS-272, the Untouchables, spearheaded the total restoration of Landing Zone Bluebird by removing 166, 272 square feet of weathered matting, extensive earth work improvements, soil stabilization, and re-laying of 158, 976 square feet of matting. This project was completed ahead of schedule through exceptional efforts by Combat Engineers and Heavy Equipment operators. In September 1993, the squadron’s engineers extracted an AV-8 Harrier as part of an aircraft recovery mission aboard Camp Lejeune, NC. This fundamental mission is called upon MHE operators in OEF and OIF today. In 1999, MWSS-272 supported a New Horizons Humanitarian Civic Assistance (HCA) exercise in the Chaco region of southeastern Bolivia. MWSS-272 engineers were part of 240 U.S. military engineers who formed “Combined Task Force Chaco” to build schools, expanded a medical clinic, dig wells, improved roads, built a base camp in the town of Boyuibe.
