Lt. Col. Larry G. Brown, right, and Sgt. Maj. Devon A. Lee case the former unit colors Aug. 30 during the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 redesignation ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. The squadron, previously Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262, was redesignated to reflect the replacement of the squadron's CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters with MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The Osprey will increase the operational range, agility and load-carrying capabilities of VMM-262, providing III Marine Expeditionary Force with improved rapid-response ability throughout the Asia-Pacific region. VMM-262 is a part of Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III MEF. Brown is the commanding officer, and Lee is the squadron sergeant major of VMM-262.
