    Marines assemble a weather radar system which is a subsystem of the meteorological mobile facility replacement next generation system March 25 aboard Camp Mujuk in Republic of Korea. The biggest change for the system is its humvee and trailer design, making it more expeditionary. The older system, which was one conex box, required Heavy Equipment Marines’ cranes support to move. The Marines are with Air Traffic Control Detachment A, Marine Air Control Squadron 4, Marine Air Control Group 18, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. The weather system is here to support exercise Ssang Yong 14, which demonstrates the Navy/Marine Corps’ responsive amphibious and expeditionary capabilities from the sea. Forward-deployed and forward-based Marine forces, in conjunction with U.S. allies, have the unique ability to provide rapid force deployment for the full range of military operations, specifically in the Pacific region (U.
