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.
