 Marines and sailors are currently spread throughout Helmand Province, Afghanistan, conducting multiple operations. Combat Logistics Battalion 4 has detachments of Marines at multiple forward operating bases who are responsible for coordinating the movement of personnel and cargo throughout the battle space and the on-load and off-load of aircraft. At Forward Operating Base Nole, a group of 12 CLB-4 Marines and non-commissioned officers complete many tasks. In addition to running the Arrival Departure Airfield Control Group, commonly called the ADAG, the detachment also runs heavy equipment operations. At FOP Nole, Sergeant Matthew Leshinsky and Corporal Anthony Vasquez run the show for their battalion. These two non-commissioned officers ensure the CLB-4 mission is accomplished at the FOP. Corporal Vasquez, the FOP's ADAG non-commissioned officer in charge, is responsible for cargo and personnel. Our mission here is to support 1-7 and the surrounding units. We manage the inbound and outbound of all cargo and personnel to the FOP. We also push out cargo to the smaller PVs via external lifts. Sergeant Leshinsky, the chief heavy equipment operator and the CLB-4 detachment non-commissioned officer in charge is responsible for the safe on-load and off-load of all arriving and departing aircraft. Additionally, Sergeant Leshinsky is responsible for his battalion's Marines at the FOP. I'm responsible for all the CLB-4 Marines on this FOP. Look out for their morale well-being and make sure that they're doing their job at all times and that they're always maintaining professionalism on this base. Having the opportunity to run their sections in a deployed environment is something both of these NCOs appreciate and enjoy. It means a great deal to me. It just shows me that my staff and COs, my officers, they're confident in my ability to run this ADAG by myself and with my junior Marines. To me, being out here all alone without any supervision, it's just one of those things that you don't really see every day back in the rear. With CLB-4 detachments spread throughout the area of operations, the battalion's Marines and non-commissioned officers work day and night to ensure personnel, gear and equipment gets to where it is needed throughout the battle space. Reporting from Helmand Province, Afghanistan, I'm Sergeant John Jackson.
