MAG-31 Convoy Support Exercise

This morning and this afternoon, I heard F/A-18 Hornets from MCAS Beaufort, SC working over and around the Beaufort area doing convoy support training. All four squadrons involved were from MAG-31 at Beaufort: VMFA-115, VMFA-122, VMFA-312, and VMFA(AW)-533. Rotary wing assets, probaby AH-1 Cobras were working with the Hornets as well. There were three convoys involved, each having a Forward Air Controller that the F/A-18s worked with.
