To support the group’s yearlong commit- ment to operations in Afghanistan, its Ma- rines and Sailors deployed in two rotations of about seven months each. “I want to congratulate the fi rst half of Marines on the outstanding job they did out here,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Bajus, the out- going commanding offi cer of MACG-28. “I know that this next group of Marines will take it to the next level.” Bajus relinquished command of the de- ployed Marines to Lt. Col. John R. Siary in the ceremony at the group’s headquarters compound. “I am very excited to be out here and to get the job done,” said Siary, a native of Albany, N.Y. “The fi rst rotation of Marines did excellent [work] out here and now we are going to build upon that and keep up the good work.” The Marines of MACG-28 are deployed out of East Coast Marine Corps air stations, including Cherry Point and New River in North Carolina, and Beaufort, S.C. The group provides airspace coordination, air traffi c control, radar surveillance, com- munications and other command and con- trol support for 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), the aviation combat element for NATO’s International Security Assistance Force in southwestern Afghanistan. “I feel good about being deployed out here,” said Cpl.
