Lt. Col. Michael Mooney, commanding officer of 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division (Forward), and Sgt. Maj. James Porterfield, sergeant major of 1st Recon Bn., furl their battalion colors during a transfer of authority ceremony at Camp Leatherneck, Dec. 7. The Marines of 2nd Recon Bn. will continue the mission in Helmand province. “The enemy is going to know and fear 2nd Recon too. They are not going to know what hit them,” Mooney said. “They are going to know the ‘Black Diamonds’ are in their backyard and it is going to be hell on earth for them.”
