    The first AV-8B Harrier jet from Marine Attack Squadron 211 lands aboard Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, July 1. The landing, conducted by the squadron commanding officer Lt. Col. Chris Raible, marked the squadron's official move from Kandahar Airfield to Camp Bastion. Raible, a Pittsburgh native, praised the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) efficiency in establishing all new hangars and workspaces for the squadron. Raible explained that his squadron will be able to conduct more combat operations and communicate more effectively with the ground combat element now that they are in close proximity to all the units they support.
