Marines in Motion

I'm Lieutenant Colonel Tara Patton. I'm the commanding officer of Combat Logistics Battalion One. So our battalion is responsible for logistically supporting the Murphy-Magtafs operations. Lieutenant Colonel Travis Honischuk, the commanding officer of Second Battalion First Marines Reinforced. The presence of Marines on key maritime terrain deters malign actors and potential adversaries. Knowing that if there's a flashpoint or they decide to pick a fight, it could be a bad day when they get on the business end of a Marine Air Ground Task Force. Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Blumenfeld, callsign Finkel. Our role down here is to lead that aviation element. Ace Marines work incredibly hard. Tremendous focus and drive of the Marines of the Ace to keep these aircraft flyable and going. To complete that mission is extremely humbling and awesome to see. I'd like to say thank you for what could not be accomplished without your commitment and support from back home. You know, to the Red Lion Ohana back in Hawaii, 363 continues to excel on the flight line, in the air, and in everything that we do. The families back home should be really proud of their Marines and Sailors. They've accomplished a lot and worked really hard out here on this deployment. None of that would be possible without the support that they received from back home. So, absolutely appreciate the support that you all have provided your Marines and Sailors, and I know that they are looking forward to getting back home and seeing you all again soon.
