Happy Birthday 2nd MAW
Celebrating 100 Years of Marine Aviation Vol. 69, No. 27 www.cherrypoint.marines.mil July 7, 2011 Wing Operations Center offers Force in readiness critical training opportunities
CPL. BRIAN ADAM JONES MCAS CHERRY POINT The 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing’s recent large force exercise, Exercise MAILED FIST 1-11, breathed life into a brand new tool that leaders say will redefi ne the way 2nd MAW conducts training and local operations. The Wing Operations Center, a windowless room with rows of work stations, a panel of large, wall-mounted monitors and, sometimes, an air of excited anticipation, offers a command and control nucleus for wing activity during major operational events. From the WOC, dozens of attentive Marines monitor occasionally hec- tic and elaborate missions and training events, keeping a close eye on everything from radar and weather patterns to video feeds and maps. “It’s a place where we can move the chess pieces across the operational spectrum,” said Lt. Col. Martin J. Forrest IV, the current operations offi cer for 2nd MAW. Forrest clearly sees the opportunities provided by the WOC. “It will allow us to train and execute large-force exercises much more realistically,” he said. Lt. Col. Matthew R. McGath, who served as the senior watch offi cer for the WOC during MAILED FIST, said that several times during the exercise, the existence of the WOC offered unique perspective or training opportunities that otherwise would have been lost. “The WOC allows coordination. It’s a big situational awareness tool and the wing’s current operations will really use it more often,” McGath CPL. R.J.

LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI MCAS CHERRY POINT Communications can win or lose wars. During World War II, American code breakers broke the Japanese naval codes, gaining enough intelligence to contribute to the victory in the Battle of Midway. In the European theater, code breakers deciphered the German’s Enigma code, leading to a fl awlessly executed deception campaign culminating in the successful landing at Normandy. With new methods of communication developing all the time, the United States military had every intention of attacking enemy communications effectively while maintaining proper communications internally. A proper platform for electronic warfare had to be mobile and transmit from a high location. The newly invented jet fi t the bill, and Marine squadrons would take the job. “It started in Vietnam with Lt. Gen. Philip D. Shutler, who was one of the programmers at D.C. Aviation and they found a need for jamming aircraft to support the bombers going into Vietnam from surface-to-air threats,” said Col. Philip J. Zimmerman, commanding offi cer of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Prowler electronic countermeasures offi cer. “So they took an A-6 and modifi ed it, becoming the EA-6A with receivers and jamming pods on it. They found it to become effective, and it grew into a program of its own. The EA-6B was developed in the early 70s and from there they started fi elding it.” In 1978, the EA-6B Prowler became the electronic warfare platform of the Marine Corps. With the Prowler, the Marine Corps hoped to pass beyond just jamming enemy radar and gain control over the “electromagnetic spectrum,” or the medium through which modern militaries communicate. OFFICIAL MARINE CORPS PHOTO “The Prowlers essentially work in the electromagnetic spectrum, and within that realm, The EA-6B was developed from the EA-6A Intruder and has been flying for more there is a wide variety of things that we can touch, infl uence or manage the battlefi eld in than 30 years in the Marine Corps.

KEVIN HOFFMAN Marine Corps aviation JOINT LAW CENTER Phishing is a scam which attempts to gain useful fi nancial in- formation from a victim by pretending to be a legitimate organi- zation. If the phishing attempt is successful, the fi nancial infor- mation is then used to make purchases or siphon money out of accounts before the victim realizes what happened. Recently, there was a widespread phishing scam in eastern North Carolina which targeted Verizon and Gateway Bank cus- tomers. A mass text sent from the scammer stated, “Gateway Bank Alert, your card starting with 4138 has been deactivated.” Every debit/credit card issued by Gateway Bank begins with 4138 which made the text message seemingly apply to all Gate- way Bank Customers. The text went on to provide a number for the message recipients to call in order to remedy the deactiva- tion. Upon dialing the number a recording requested the caller’s full 16 digit account number, expiration date, and three-digit secu- rity pin. Once all of the information was received the record- ing stopped and the call ended. Obviously this text did not come from Gateway Bank, but thus far the bank is estimated to have lost $80,000 as a result. Phishing can take the form of an email, text message, letter in the mail, or even a telephone solicitation. To avoid becoming victims of phishing, please understand the following: • Banks, service providers, credit card companies, and other fi - nancial institutions will never contact you to verify your account information with them – they already know your account infor- mation. • If you are contacted by what you believe to be a legitimate fi nancial institution; and they are requesting that you take some sort of action, use the customer service number provided on your monthly statement or on that fi nancial institution’s website. • Limit the amount of personal information you give out.

Though Havner won the overall competition, the judges facial expressions showed they were content with each meal. “Overall, I think that the food was pretty good,” said Gun- nery Sgt. Timothy J. Lindeman, the acting Engineer Company fi rst sergeant for MWSS-274. “There were certain aspects of this dessert or that side dish that could have been better. I think the toughest time they had was the rice, making it taste good and not bland. I would have eaten all of that food any day of the week.” Pfc. Brandon M. Bower, a food service specialist with Head- quarters and Headquarters Squadron, took second place in this quarter’s competition, which was his fi rst time being a contes- tant in chef of the quarter.

STAFF SGT. CHRISTOPHER FLURRY 2ND MAW (FWD) CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan – New software now enables the Marine Corps intelligence analysts to more quickly survey a suspected insurgent’s past activity and social ties, with the goal of providing a more accurate forecast of what he may do in the future, explained Cpl. Oscar Machuca, an intelligence analyst for the 2nd Ma- rine Aircraft Wing (Forward). “We can more easily recreate historical events so that we can better make decisions about the future,” said Machuca, a Pecos, Texas, native. “It’s able to link what they’ve done. It’s able to link criminal activity. I try not to make assumptions, I make assessments.” The assessments Machuca and the other aircraft wing intelligence analysts make go to help pilots in determin- ing the threat of a particular location before they fl y there. Machuca said he typically spends his time analyzing heli- copter landing zones so that aircrews are aware of any in- surgent activity that may be going on at any given time. “It’s important (the pilots) know where the biggest threat is,” said Machuca. “That way they know if they’ll need escorts, or if it’s a more secure location.” Machuca said the intelligence products the Marines prepare are provided to the squadrons supporting the air- craft wing for various missions, from close-air support to troop insertions and extractions. “When they rely on us, they’re putting the pilots’ lives in our hands,” said Sgt.

As technology advances, the Marine Corps again marches into the future. “We are not too different from each other, we think the same and understand each other very well,” said Carmeli. LEADER from page A1 “We came to agree on most topics and how to accomplish the missions.” Golan added, “The Marines did a marvelous job with their hospitality and professionalism, of the Wing.” it took a lot of effort and they are very good people here.” Under Baker’s tenure, the versatility of MWSS-271 was put to good use. While deployed and on other operations, the squadron consistently met its mission and completed duties not usually in the squadron’s job description. “The folks that you see standing out here represent about 700 Marines and Sailors,” said Col. Daniel Conley, commanding offi cer of Marine Wing Support Group 27. “There are about 70 different military occupational specialties contained in this unit. As the commanders know, a well-led and well-trained MWSS can do not just its doctrinal mission, but a whole lot of other missions as well. While other units were packing up and heading home, not only did Paul Baker and the Workhorses take over the aviation ground support that enabled the wing to do its job, but they also took over those missions that other units couldn’t or wouldn’t do.” Baker defl ected much of the credit, citing that much of the work was done by the members of the squadron. “I got there, and I found a very well-trained and prepared unit ready for combat,” said Baker. “You continue to strive and you continue to accomplish missions. Everything you do is preparation for combat. It was a great two-year command.” Rosenbloom has previous experience with support squadrons, having been the operations offi cer for MWSS-271’s parent command, MWSG-27. Between his prior knowledge of MWSS-271 and Baker’s guidance for the past two weeks, Rosenbloom expects the troops to stick to their exemplary performance and will be with them every step of the way. “Devil Dogs, Sailors, I don’t make a lot of promises,” said Rosenbloom. “But I will make one here today, I will truly dedicate myself 100 percent every single day to living up to the motto of being the most ready when the nation is the least ready. I’ve been truly impressed over the last couple weeks and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.” FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, JUNE SPECIAL - $25 OFF SCIENTIST 406 MIDDLE STREET COMPLETE TRAILER PACKAGE SUNDAY SERVICE ...... 10:00AM (HITCH & WIRING) SUNDAY SCHOOL ...... 10:00AM WEDNESDAY MEETING ...... 7:00PM TOW, TOW, TOW ALL ARE WELCOME CHILD CARE PROVIDED YOUR BOAT, RV OR TRAILER TO THE BEACH WITH CONFIDENCE!

NOTEBOOK Martin wins 50th career pole
On the weekend that David Ragan got his breakthrough Cup victory, the man who once drove the No. 6 Ford had a record-setting per- formance of his own. Mark Martin, who now drives the No. 5 WalkingWalking talltall Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports, won the pole for the Coke Zero 400, the 50th of his career. He’s now eighth on the all-time pole list. Richard Petty leads with 123, followed by David Pearson with 113. Jeff Gordon, with 70 poles, leads all active drivers. “I’ve had the pleasure Mark Martin of driving a lot of fast race cars and working with a lot of great teams through the years, and I’m really grateful for that,” Martin said. “This [pole] is really special because I know how much work goes into the four restrictor plate races each year by Hendrick Motorsports, and with the competition the way it is today, it’s kind of amazing that they manage to sweep the restrictor plate poles. It is just an engineering feat by all. “I was the lucky guy that really had noth- ing to do with it other than to be the lucky guy that got to strap in it today.” He wasn’t so lucky in the race.
