Staff Sgt. Christopher Pischl, a crew chief with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), watches out the window of a CH-53D Sea Stallion as it lands here Oct. 17. In support of Operation Stargey, HMH-362 transported Afghan National Army troops 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.
