U.S. Army Capt. Owen T. Tolson, left, explains to U.S. Marine Col. Scott F. Stebbins the different positions of the U.S. Army Patriot missile launcher’s setup June 17 at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. “The joint integration aspect of our unit is really important,” said Tolson, a Dallas, Texas, native. “Our equipment and our operators really rely on the joint community to receive a better understanding of what’s going on in the air and that only helps maximize our capabilities. Receiving more feedback from the joint community really helps our guys so that we’re making informed decisions if we ever did have to process an engagement.” Tolson is an air defense officer with Battery D, 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. Stebbins is a Northglenn, Colorado, native and commanding officer of Marine Air Control Group 18, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
