Marines and Sailors with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing stand in formation as Maj. Gen. Thomas D. Weidley, commanding general of 1st MAW, addresses them after a motivational run at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 2, 2019. Over 1,000 Marines and Sailors were in attendance to run 3 miles around the air station flight line in order to review, refocus and recommit Marines to the mission for the new year. As the aviation combat element of III Marine Expeditionary Force, Marines and Sailors in 1st MAW need to have the physical and mental endurance to advance in environments of extreme hardship, complexity, and pressure to perform. Motivational run's such as this keep 1st MAW service members prepared to accomplish all aspects of their skill and the mission under realistic, pressurized conditions, while remaining healthy and meeting the criteria for deployment, retention, and continued military service.
