San Diego, California. (March 4, 2025): A rare sight appeared above the skies of San Diego as Marines assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, fly in formation as a team. In this photo by Lance Corporal Jennifer Sanchez, seven aircraft conduct this historic flight as part of Project Legacy 2025. The exercise gave Marine pilots a chance to practice flying in tight formations together as a unit. The flight included three FA-18C/D Hornets, three F-35 Lightning IIs, and one KC-130J Super Hercules transport plane.
MAG-11, based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, is currently composed of two F-35C squadrons, one F-35B squadron, and two F/A-18C squadrons. The unit has a long and storied history in Marine Corps aviation. In the early stages of World War II, MAG-11 shipped off to the Pacific where two of its squadrons took part in the bloody Battle for Guadalcanal. The unit helped relieve the famous “Cactus Air Force” that was desperately fending off Japanese counterattacks. America’s victory in this battle is considered a major turning point in the war.

PENTAGON, (March 1, 2025): The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump's directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S. – Mexico border. The units, equipped with wheeled vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced today.
Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs — seven active-duty and two National Guard — are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Built around the Stryker vehicle — an eight-wheeled armored platform — the brigade balances mobility, protection and firepower. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response.
