October 15, 2016 - A Marine holds his son for
the first time during a deployment homecoming aboard Marine
Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. More than 120 Marines with
Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 4 returned after a
six-month deployment with the United States Central Command
aboard Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. According to Lt. Col. Paul
K. Johnson III, commanding officer for VMAQ-4, the Marines
conducted electronic warfare and disrupted ISIS communications
in Iraq and Syria in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. This
deployment was the last that VMAQ-4 will participate in because
the squadron is scheduled to be deactivated in the summer of
2017. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mackenzie Gibson)
