As the Columbus Day weekend begins, military members share a friendly reminder to drink responsibly as all the outgoing traffic leaves for the weekend on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, October 7, 2016. “You deserve to have four days off, but I need you to drink responsibly,” said Sgt. Maj Lee D. Bonar, the III Marine Expeditionary Force sergeant major. “I need you to make sure we take care of each other and watch each other’s backs, because we need to come back on Wednesday and be ready to get back to work again.” The Marines, Sailors and Status of Forces Agreement personnel are participating in the campaign to “protect what you’ve earned” by spreading encouraging words to military members and their families. They are reminded to be good ambassadors to our host nation and to stay safe during the four-day weekend.

This is the official announcement of Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Training Squadron 1's deactivation ceremony. The ceremony will be held at 7:30 p.m. during Friday's air show. We are proud of the legacy VMAQT-1 has built, and ask that you come join us by attending the air show to see their official ceremony. After VMAQT-1 deactivates, one of the remaining three Prowler squadrons will decommission each year until completion at the end of fiscal year 19. Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Electronic Warfare is what the Marine Corps will transition to as the Prowler is replaced. VMAQT-1 traces its lineage back to Korea when it was known as Marine Composite Squadron 1, flying electronic counter-measure missions for UN aircraft. Throughout the years, it was re-designated many times and, alongside the other Prowler squadrons, flew combat missions in support of every conflict ranging from Vietnam to operations in the former Yugoslavia, Operations Iraqi/Enduring Freedom and everything in between. It wasn’t until the summer of 2013 that VMAQT-1 assumed fleet replacement squadron responsibilities and was officially named VMAQT-1. To date, VMAQT-1 has trained Prowler pilots, electronic countermeasure officers and maintainers, readying the men and women it trains to join the remaining squadrons as they continue to conduct missions in support of joint and strategic objectives.
