MARINE CORPS AIR STATION BEAUFORT -- An order from President Bush to aid in the fight against global terrorism is a reason the Marines of Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 are finding themselves at the head of another deployment to the Middle East.

This month, over 650 Marines from MWSS-273, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, will be packing and heading out for six months to support combat operations and air strikes over Iraq.

This will be the first time in over a year the entire squadron has deployed from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in support of one mission...

While in Iraq, the support squadron will be providing manpower for the forward refueling area that enables aircraft and vehicles to perform operations at a closer range in the direction of enemy targets.
