EA-6b prowler hatches open

A pilot with Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 4 taxis an EA-6B Prowler during a deployment homecoming aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Oct. 10, 2016. More than 20 air crew members with the unit returned after a six-month deployment with the United States Central Command aboard Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. According to Lt. Col. Paul K. Johnson III, commanding officer for VMAQ-4, the Marines conducted electronic warfare and disrupted ISIS communications in Iraq and Syria in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. This deployment was the last that VMAQ-4 will participate in because the squadron is scheduled to be deactivated in the summer of 2017.
