A U.S. Marine Corps heavy helicopter squadron flying the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion can be considered a living organism. It is constantly evolving as personnel leave and new people come aboard, with each commanding officer typically holding command for one-and-a-half to two years. Although each commander may bring a different leadership style to the role, the squadron persists in being ready to accomplish its mission, and providing an environment in which Marines can grow personally while developing their professional skill set.
