Craparotta made the remarks in a pre-released script for an international symposium on the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the ROK Marine Corps.
He added that four MV-22s, four CH-53s, four AH-1Zs, and two UH-1Y transport helicopters were deployed from Hawaii to South Korea last month for an exercise.
