 Since their arrival to Afghanistan, VMGR 252 Detachment Bravo in Kandahar, Afghanistan has been comprised of all three squadrons of the VMGR community. The Marines meet all aspects of the VMGR mission, including air refueling and battlefield illumination. The battlefield illumination allows us to kick some flares out of the back of the aircraft and we set what altitude we want them to burn at to ignite at. And they will burn for a designated period of time and provide them the cover they need. Since I've been here in August, we took over August 1st, we've kicked out over 3,000 flares out of the back of this aircraft. The Harvest Hawk, a close air support platform as well as a multi-sensor imagery reconnaissance platform, has been added to the VMGR mission during their time in Afghanistan. Reporting from Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, I'm Corporal Daniel Wells.
