Lance Cpl. John D. Buckner, an air crewman with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352, supports members of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s embassy liaison team, which is training here from a concurrent exercise at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., March 26. The San Diego-based Raiders wear a red-eyed version of the Jolly Roger as their squadron ensign, and they fly a skull and crossbones when taxiing the KC-130J, the Marine Corps’ aerial refueling tanker and tactical airlifter. The squadron flew refueling and transport missions to support the 11th MEU’s command element and aviation-combat element, Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 166 (Reinforced). The MEU, which is comprised of 2,200 Marines and sailors, began a Marine air-ground task force exercise March 20 at military and civilian installations throughout the state. The exercise, scheduled to end April 9, is intended to prepare the unit for a deployment later this year.
