 The commander of Marine Forces Europe, Lieutenant General Dennis Halick, visited the Marines of 4th Marine Reconnaissance Battalion before their upcoming deployment as part of the Black Sea Rotational Force. Halick said he had goals in mind for the Marines and their new mission. They represent themselves first as Americans and second as U.S. Marines and then whenever they leave Bulgaria or whatever country they happen to be training with, the Bulgarians look at them and say, it's great training with U.S. Marines and with Americans. So I think that's probably the number one. Halick was also briefed on the capabilities of the unit and their pre-deployment training. Reporting from Camp Pendleton, California, I'm Corporal Ned Johnson.
