‘Pale Horse’ Marine makes critical discovery

Sgt. Mario Monarrez, an MV-22B Osprey mechanic with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 561, is awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal here Aug. 5. Monarrez discovered a defective piece of equipment on the squadron’s first Osprey and was the first Marine to find the defective piece in Osprey history. The piece had never before been noted for inspection, and is now inspected at the manufacturing level before it’s released to the fleet. Monarrez’s vigilance earned him Marine Safety Professional of the Quarter and he helped the VMM-561 “Pale Horses” earn Unit Safety Professional of the Quarter.

“We didnʼt know what the emergency was at the time,” said Sgt. Eric Brazfield, an aircraft rescue and fire fighting crew-man here and a San Bernadino, Calif., na-tive. Brazfield was a young ARFF crewman when he responded to an emergency aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C.

“[The pilot] veered off the taxi way and into the dirt,” said Brazfield. “We pulled off his mask and blood came pouring out. His sinuses had burst.”

Brazfield and his crew had to perform a platform rescue, or “snatch-and-grab,” to

get the disabled pilot out of his aircraft and in an ambulance as quickly and safely as possible.

Now an ARFF crewman aboard MCAS Miramar, Brazfield, as well as the rest of the MCAS Miramar fire station, 3rd and 4th Marine Aircraft Wing ARFF Marines, train daily to respond to any emergency that may occur on the flight line.

The ARFF Marines gathered to rehearse platform rescues on Aug. 15, much like the one Brazfield assisted with aboard MCAS Beaufort.

3rd MAW welcomes new sergeant major

Sgt. Maj. Don W. Gallagher relin-quished his post as the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing sergeant major to Sgt. Maj. Anthony A. Spadaro during a relief and appointment ceremony on the flight line here today.

Gallagher enlisted in the Marine Corps on March 3, 1980. Upon graduating from recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit

Depot San Diego, he attended rifleman infantry training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif.

He received orders in August to Marine Barracks Yokosuka, Japan, and served aboard Atsugi Naval Air Station, Japan. In January 1984, he returned to the states with orders to 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division and completed a West Pacific deployment.

In August 1987, Gallagher received or-

ders to Drill Instructor School, MCRD San Diego. Upon completion of this tour in Au-gust 1990, Gallagher was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay. He deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and participated in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Gallagher deployed twice with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), Marine Corps Base

Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, in 1992 and 1993.

During the summers of 1994 and 1995, Gallagher was assigned to Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va., where he trained candidates. He was sent to 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment for duty in 1996 during which he deployed with the 31st MEU and conducted operations in the Western Pacific.

Plunging your aircraft at a vertical angle to bomb a bridge accurately isnʼt a typical tactic in todayʼs modern warfare. However, in the militaryʼs early aviation years, it was common place. One aircraft specifically designed for this was the SBD Dauntless dive bomber.

The Dauntless was an upgraded version of a two-seat monoplane called the Northrop BT dive bomber. When Douglas company first flew the plane on April 25, 1938, it was designated the XBT-2. The company later changed the designation to the Douglas SBD-1 in 1939.

The Marine Corps received Dauntless dive bomb-ers in 1940. The dive bomber had a wing span of

more than 41 feet and a length greater than 31 feet. It could exceed 250 mph.

The aircraft saw its first major action during the Battle of the Coral Sea. It went on to participate in various strikes on Japanese installations in the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, New Guinea, Wake Island and Marcus Island.

The dive bombers also contributed to the Battle of Midway, Guadalcanal Campaign and Operation Torch. In 1944, the Dauntless saw its last major ac-tion in the Battle of the Philippine Sea.

Some Marine squadrons continued using the Dauntless until the end of the war, but the aircraft was eventually replaced by the SB2C Helldiver.

Dive bombers became obsolete following World War II due to improved technology that allowed pi-lots to fire from safer distances with greater accuracy.

downed aircraft, with a fellow Marine “trapped” in the cockpit. They had to first control a simulated fire, then get into the cockpit and remove the trapped pilot.

“Our main priority here is to save lives and protect property,” said Sgt. Pedro Morales, an ARFF crewman and an El Paso, Texas, native. “We want to get [the pilot] out of there, and then save the plane.”

They could not use real fire during the drills because the Marines were practicing with a real passenger in the aircraft, but Morales explained that other drills with live fire help the ARFF professionals train for extrane-ous factors, such as smoke, wind and debris.

“We had to be prepared for anything,” said Brazfield of his experience in Beaufort. “Todayʼs training was the same. You have to keep your head on a swivel and take note of everything.”

ARFFʼs next large training event will test the Ma-rinesʼ skills as emergency vehicle operators, a critical aspect of their ability to respond to flight line emergen-cies.

“We have to train like lives depend on us,” said Mo-rales.

Whether a plane is disabled or a pilot is suffering a medical emergency, like the pilot aboard MCAS Beau-fort, the ARFF Marines here train to meet any challenge head-on.

In June 2001, Gallagher returned to MCRD San Diego where he was selected for sergeant major in 2003.

He then reported to and served as the sergeant major for Marine Tactical Air Command Squadron 38 where he deployed to Al Asad Air Base in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Gallagher posted as the sergeant major with 1st Marine Regiment in December 2006 and deployed to Fallujah, Al Anbar

Province, Iraq. After returning in 2009, he posted as the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing sergeant major.

Gallagherʼs personal awards include the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with gold star, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat “V” and gold star, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with gold star and the Combat Action Ribbon.

Gallagher relinquishes command to Spadaro after 31 years of honorable ser-vice.

Spadaro enlisted in the Marine Corps on April 3, 1985. Upon graduating from

MCRD Parris Island, S.C., he reported to the Marine Artillery Detachment at Fort Sill, Okla., for training as an artillery fire direction controlman.

He received orders to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., for duty with 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment.

In February 1987, Spadaro was as-signed to Naval Air Station North Island, Coronado, San Diego, for training as an artillery nuclear projectileman. He then received orders to Marine Security Guard School aboard Quantico, Va., in April 1987. Upon completion of the school, he was assigned as a watchstander with the American Embassy in Abidjan, Cote DʼIvoire.

Spadaro was selected to activate the newly formed Marine Security Guard Detachment in Gaborone, Botswana, as the assistant detachment commander in Oc-tober 1988. During his tenure, the detach-ment was honored as the most improved MSG detachment in Fox Company, Marine Security Guard Battalion.

In March 1990, Spadaro was transferred to 1st Marine Division and subsequently assigned to 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, for duties as the assistant opera-tions chief and deployed to participate in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in December 1990.

Spadaro was transferred to 11th Marine Regiment and served in several billets to include acting as an intel officer. In April 1994, Spadaro was assigned to be the meteorological chief and a platoon sergeant

with the regiment.He served as a drill instructor at MCRD

San Diego in April 1997 where he com-pleted seven recruit training cycles until he was assigned as a Drill Instructor School staff member in July 1999.

In August 2001, he transferred to 3rd Marine Division and was assigned to 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, which participated in the Unit Deployment Program with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. Spadaro deployed to Okinawa in November 2003.

Spadaro returned to MCRD San Diego in July 2004 where he served as a company first sergeant.

He assumed the billet of 1st Recruit Training Battalion sergeant major in Au-gust 2005. From July 2007 to April 2009, he served as the squadron sergeant major of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 165 and the sergeant major for the Air Combat Element, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

In December 2009, Spadaro was se-lected as the sergeant major for 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Fwd), I Marine Expedition-ary Force.

Spadaroʼs personal decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal with gold star, the Navy and Marine Corps Com-mendation Medal with three gold stars, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Army Achievement Medal and the Combat Action Ribbon. Spadaro is authorized to wear Naval Aircrewman Insignia and was inducted into the Honor-able Order of Saint Barbara recognizing his contributions to the field artillery in 1996.

DR

unning back and forth across a train-ing fi eld wearing multiple layers of clothing and then getting thrown to

the ground is just another day for Marine Corps military working dog handlers here.

Handlers spend six hours a day grooming, training and running the dogs through obstacle courses to maintain their physical fi tness and gain their trust.

“There is no way to repli-cate the time, dedication and countless hours spent training

these dogs,” said Cpl. Wayne S. Williams, a military working dog handler with the Provost

Marshalʼs Offi ce, Headquarters and Headquarters Squad-ron and a New York City native. “Everyone wants their dog to be the best,

and there is nothing like when you have

been working and working and they

fi nally do [a trick] right.”

Handlers spend a large portion of time with their dogs building strong bonds. A dog handler must be able to completely count on a dog for everything from explosives and narcotics detection, to attacking in real-life situations - it may cost them their lives otherwise.

“The longest leash I used when I was on deploy-ment was 26-foot,” said Marine Corps civilian police offi cer, Cpl. Eric F. Vega, a military work-ing dog handler with H&HS, PMO and a Corona, Calif., native. “That doesnʼt seem very far with a bomb. You have to be able to fully trust your dog with your life. That is why we put so much time into their care and well-being.”

Leash lengths fall anywhere from just long enough to go from hand to dog up to 30-feet, and come in such materials as leather and nylon. Every leash serves a purpose in the training process, and each handler is required to know which will bring out certain traits in the dogs. These dogs also work for a “Kong” ball as their reward during training - it is shaped similar to a bee hive and the dogs enjoy the unpredictability of the bounce direction, making it a sought-after reward.

In October 2010, Miramar PMO built a state-of-the-art kennel facility in which to train these working K-9s. The facility is solar powered, has a veterinary room and a full ventilation system. This kennel can also house extra dogs in case of emer-gencies such as wildfi res, where other dogs may be brought in to work.

“This kennel is self-sustainable because we have space to actually house a handler in case he must stay overnight if his dog gets sick and he doesnʼt want to leave him,” said Vega. “We have a cot,

showers and both male and female heads. Some-one can stay here for days if they need to.”

The job of military working handler is not for those who do not wish to get

dirty or bitten. It is for those who do not mind spending countless hours

in the elements, making sure a dog has been properly trained to

protect his or her fellow service members and

citizens.

Vega, a military working dog handler with the Provost Marshal’s Offi ce, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron and a Corona, Calif., native, during a training demonstration here Aug. 4. Each handler spends six hours of one-on-one training with his or her dog a day to keep the canines in shape and ready to deal with any real-life situations. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Erica DiSalvo)
