ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, GA. (AP) -- After weeks of Marines and their helicopters trickling in, Marine Aircraft Group 49's Detachment A officially relocated to Robins on Thursday during a morning welcoming ceremony.
The unit formerly was based at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta.
About 120 active duty Marines are now based at Robins, alongside nearly 5,700 active duty airmen.
The Marines plan to fly a Cobra and a UH-1N Huey helicopter over Friday's Independence Day celebration in Warner Robins.
