Brig. Gen. Matthew Glavy stands on top of a control tower with Lt. Col. Matthew Simmons (left), Col. Paul Baker (center left) and Maj.

Glavy visited the airfield to thank Marines for their hard work, to better understand the challenges they overcome on a daily basis and set eyes on supporting facilities to ensure they are maintained to high standards. “Bogue represents the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing’s ability to conduct expeditionary operations,” said Glavy. “They provide aviation ground support, air traffic control and operational support to the aircraft that rely on them. It is a unique place where 2nd MAW can get critical expeditionary training that we cannot receive anywhere else.” Glavy is the commanding general for 2nd MAW, Simmons is the assistant chief of staff in the 2nd MAW G6, Baker is the officer in charge of the aviation ground support department and McArthur is the aviation ranges project lead in 2nd MAW G3.
