By Sgt. Christopher Duncan, CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- Marine Unmanned Vehicle Squadron 4 conducted its first field training exercises at Camp Talega since the unit’s official move here from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The unit held its first change of command between Lt. Col. Kyle J. Moore and Lt. Col. Matthew C. Shortal on Feb. 22, symbolizing the squadron's official move from Yuma to Camp Talega, here.
The active-reserve squadron’s relocation to Camp Pendleton is intended to position VMU-4 to efficiently support and integrate with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.
“One of the unit’s goals is to be an operational ready force so that we can, as the commandant says, ‘fight today’s fight with today’s force,’” said Maj. Brian W. Cole, the site commander of VMU-4.
