A squadron of advanced early warning and control aircraft is moving from Norfolk to Japan as part of a Navy effort to place its most-advanced units in the Pacific as China grows more assertive.
The Navy said Thursday that Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 125 will be based at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni. The squadron flies the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and is currently based at Norfolk Naval Station.
