    II Marine Expeditionary Force   

    Rescue swimmer Cpl. Chad V. D’Ambrogi and hospital corpsman Petty Officer 3rd Class John H. Nelson, both with Marine Transport Squadron 1, were among crew members who rescued three missing children from the Croatan National Forest Feb. 18. After getting a call to support a search and rescue mission, six crew members from VMR-1 rushed to the squadron’s hangar to board one of their beloved HH-46E Sea Knights affectionately referred to as “Pedro.” For most of the highly-trained crew, this was the first time they carried out a real-world search and rescue mission.
