Sgt. Kevin Carpio, a UH-1Y Venom crew chief with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, currently assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force through the unit deployment program, inspects helicopter propellers at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, March 12, 2017. The squadron, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, validated the long-range capability of the auxiliary fuel tanks on their H-1 platform helicopters by flying 314 nautical miles during one leg of the journey, March 10. These aircrafts’ extended range is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward-deployed force in the Asia-Pacific region. Carpio is a native of Bronx, New York.
