Lt. Col. Matthew Stover, commanding officer of Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152, talks to Japanese media after the arrival of a KC-130J Super Hercules aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, July 15, 2014. Upon the KC-130J Super Hercules’ touchdown, administrative control of the squadron effectively changed from MCAS Futenma’s, based out of Okinawa, Japan, Marine Aircraft Group-36 to MAG-12 on Iwakuni. VMGR-152 will remain under operational control of III Marine Expeditionary Force in Okinawa, but MAG-12 will be in charge of providing the squadron with all the gear and supplies necessary in carrying out their missions.
