Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, with the help of other Marines from around 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), completed the removal of aluminum matting formerly used as the expeditionary runway at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, May 8. The Marines picked up more than 1.8 million square feet of aluminum matting during the project. An 11,500-foot permanent runway opened at Camp Bastion, Feb. 11, which allowed the expeditionary runway to be removed. "I am extremely proud of the Marines for the huge project they completed out here," Lt. Col. Dale Kruse, the commanding officer of MWSS-272. "We anticipated that it would take about three months longer than this and finishing it this early is quit accomplishment."
