Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, relinquished command to Marine Wing Support Squadron 371, and is deploying back to Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. “It’s been a highly productive deployment,” said Lt. Col. Dale Kruse, the Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 commanding officer and a native of Morenci, Mich. “Not only have the Marines executed duties of aviation ground support functions, they’ve also been part of several large-scale building operations for vertical and horizontal construction.”
