Twenty-four Marine Aircraft Group 12 F/A-18s from Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242 and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 safely landed here March 30 to bring their portion of exercise Foal Eagle 2011 to a close. Col. Stephen G. Nitzschke, MAG-12 commanding officer, referenced this moment as one of the most significant to him during his command of MAG-12 because it serves as testament to The Ready Group’s abilities. Nitzschke is scheduled to be succeeded by Col. Christopher J. Mahoney as the MAG-12 commanding officer during a change-of-command ceremony today.
