Instead, the service is continuing its pivot to the Asia-Pacific region, where tens of thousands of Marines are now based or forward deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The reason? <\/span>The Corps&#8217; new short take-off, vertical landing attack plane is good at playing in the dirt. It can operate from ships, any type of airfield, abandoned or primitive runways, highways, and other open areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>&#8220;The F-35B will have an unmatched expeditionary capability, and the Marine Corps intends to capitalize on that,&#8221; said <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Marine Corps spokesman <\/span>Maj. Paul Greenberg, a Marine spokesman at the Pentagon<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> said<\/span>. <\/span>&#8220;The aircraft can even operate from unimproved surfaces where we utilize our own expeditionary runway matting.&#8221; <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Greenberg said.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to tentative plans, in 2017, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, the &#8220;Green Knights,&#8221; will permanently relocate from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. Sixteen <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">One squadron of 16 <\/span>aircraft will be located there, according to the Marine Corps&#8217; aviation plan<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">s show<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As the Marine Corps supports the president&#8217;s strategy to rebalance forces in the Pacific, we will bring the most advanced fifth-generation technology and capabilities of our force to that region,&#8221; Greenberg said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marine F-35 squadrons will also routinely deploy to Japan on six month rotations as part of the service&#8217;s unit deployment program. The squadrons that could be tapped for those deployments will be spread between the active-duty force and the reserve. They&#8217;ll be based in the following locations: <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The Corps&#8217; remaining F-35s will be located at six different locations and spread between active duty and reserve squadrons. Besides Iwakuni, the Corps will put aircraft at the following locations:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span>94 aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.<\/span><\/li><li><span>60 aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.<\/span><\/li><li><span>70 aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, Arizona.<\/span><\/li><li><span>10 aircraft at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. (The Navy will also use these aircraft.)<\/span><\/li><li><span>70 aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, South Carolina.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is expected to have three F-35 squadrons by the time the Green Knights move to Japan, the plan shows. By then, another will be at Yuma while a training squadron will be at Beaufort. The East Coast will receive its first operational squadron in 2019 at Beaufort, while Miramar will receive its first squadron in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps has some of its newest aircraft in Japan. A squadron of KC-130J Super Hercules is based at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni. The new aircraft has air-to-air and ground vehicle refueling capabilities and can carry 92 troops or 64 paratroopers and their equipment. It can also carry 74 litters and medical personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan also has two U.S. Marine MV-22 Osprey squadrons. Top brass there said the tilt-rotor aircraft&#8217;s long range and speed allow Marines to quickly reach far-off locations, and has revolutionized aviation in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the Corps, the Navy has also tried to put its most advanced aircraft in the Pacific. In 2012, EA-18G Growlers Electronic Attack Squadron 141, the &#8220;Shadowhawks,&#8221; arrived at Naval Air Facility, Atsugi, Japan, to join Carrier Air Wing 5. It was the first air wing in the fleet to exclusively fly F\/A-18 Super Hornets and Growlers, the service&#8217;s new electronic warfare aircraft, and no legacy aircraft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corps focusing on the Pacific and flying the F-35B from primitive, undeveloped, remote, and gritty airfields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":41926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1951],"class_list":["post-18611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"FF6CGKVQ2NFAZAM4Y5YPD57ZPA","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2015\/01\/21\/corps-to-base-f-35s-in-asia-pacific-region\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
