 First Marine aircraft wing commanding General Major General William Bidler bid farewell to Marine Wing Support Group 17 during a deactivation ceremony on Camp Foster. For 59 years, our Marine Wing Support Group have made us unique. The support group and its subordinate squadrons have put the Marine in marine aviation. MWSG 17 commanding officer Colonel James Gannon spoke of some of the unit's achievements, including the Wing's quick response to last year's earthquake and tsunami on mainland Japan. I would say we've met and exceeded the standards. We've stepped up to the plate. We've been ready every time we've been called upon and it's because of the efforts and motivation and innovation of these Marines and sailors. Though the support group will no longer be an active unit in the Marine Corps, Colonel Gannon says the Wing's aviation ground support will continue to be ready at a moment's notice. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
