Maj. Gen. Glenn M. Walters, commanding general of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, pilots a KC-130J Hercules in southwestern Afghanistan in 2011, when he commanded 2nd MAW (Forward). Walters assumed command of 2nd MAW in May 2012, just two months after returning from Afghanistan. “Instead of employing the wing in combat, now I’m preparing Marines for combat,” Walters said. “It’s the continuum of who we are as Marines – answering the call to do our nation’s defense wherever we’re called.”
