CHERRY POINT, N.C. - Lt. Col. Sean C. Killeen assumed command of Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 from Lt. Col. Scott E. Conway during a ceremony at the Naval Health Clinic parade field aboard Cherry Point, N.C., Aug. 17
Conway will move on to study at the Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Va., for two years before his next assignment.
Conway said MWSS-274 accomplished a great deal during his tenure as commanding officer.
"The Marines and Sailors of the squadron performed brilliantly," he said. "They've done everything from the doctrinal mission of aviation ground support to the non-doctrinal mission when we formed a Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force and went down to Central America and supported counter-drug and counter narco-terrorism operations."
Killeen previously served as the command element branch head of the Total Force Structure Division, Marine Corps Combat Development Command. He said he looks forward to commanding the "Ironmen."
"I hope to deploy with this well led, well trained, and very capable organization and team," Killeen said. "I will make this happen by an extensive training plan that focuses on the squadron's core missions and mastering the basics for the individual Marines."
His career highlights include serving as the landing support detachment commander for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit in 1997, serving in the logistics section of II Marine Expeditionary Force during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and serving as the II MEF logistics operations and plans officer.
