John McFarling, the platoon sergeant for Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, during a flight in support of Operation Stargey Oct. 17. HMH-362 transported ANA and coalition forces to a village between Now Zad and Musa Quelah to set up snap vehicle check points in an effort to disrupt insurgent operations in the area. Using helicopters to insert the troops allows for surprise, flexibility and a multi-prong approach to the operation.
