CH-53D Sea Stallions approach for landing to pick up Marines with Company A, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, after they completed a helicopter raid at Barry M. Goldwater Range in Arizona, May 15, 2010. “The Marines did outstanding and were very well-focused,” said Capt. James Richardson, company commanding officer. “We learned a lot of valuable lessons. We got dropped off farther than we expected, but the platoons still communicated well with each other, letting each other know where the other was. It was an outstanding opportunity to have a tactical environment.” The raid was their final exercise for the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course taught by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1 at the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz.
