Children of a local elementary school bow their heads during a moment of silence alongside American and Spanish service members as part of a 9/11 remembrance day at Moron Air Base, Spain, Sept. 11, 2013. Among the service members present were Marines with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response, airmen with the 496th Air Base Squadron, and members of the Spanish Air Force's 11th Wing. Not in attendance was a contingent of SP-MAGTF Crisis Response Marines currently forward-deployed to Sigonella, Italy, as part of normal alert posturing surrounding the 9/11 anniversary.  SP-MAGTF Crisis Response is a self-mobile, self-sustaining force capable of responding to a range of crises to protect both U.S. and partner-nation security interests in the region, as well as strengthening partnerships throughout the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.
