Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 461 conduct a re-designation ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, Jan. 21, 2022. The squadron received its first CH-53K King Stallion, and the ceremony signified the beginning of the Marine Corps’ modernization from the CH-53E Super Stallion to the CH-53K King Stallion in support of the expeditionary warfare vision for future-force employment. The CH-53K is an optimized vertical, heavy-lift, sea-based, long-range solution for the Marine Corps and will provide three times the lift capability of its predecessor.
