Lt. Col. Dale Kruse, the commanding officer of Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, picks up the final piece of aluminum matting with one of his Marines on a formerly used expeditionary runway at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, May 8. An 11,500-foot permanent runway opened at Camp Bastion, Feb. 11, which allowed the expeditionary runway to be removed. The removal of the matting was scheduled to take more than four months, but the Marines finished it in about a month. "I am extremely proud of the Marines for the huge project they completed out here," said Kruse. "We anticipated that it would take about three months longer than this and finishing it this early is quit accomplishment."
