I'm Private First Class Troy Saunders with your Marine Minute.
Marine-Fighter-Attack-Squadron-121, an F-35-B squadron with 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, departed Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona January 9th to relocate to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. The F-35-B was developed to replace the Marine Corps’ F/A 18-Hornet, A-V 8-B-Harrier and E-A 6-B-Prowler. The relocation from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma (M-C-A-S) to Marine Corps Air Station (M-C-A-S) Iwakuni marks a notable event in the F-35-B program, as Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 is the first operational F-35-B squadron assigned to the Fleet Marine Force.
