Accelerate Change: Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

WTI 2-23: AST-3 at Kiwanis Park
Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron-1
April 14, 2023 | 4:30
U.S. Marine CH-53E Super Stallion and CH-53K King Stallion helicopters, assigned to Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) and Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 461, take part in a simulated humanitarian aid exercise during Assault Support Tactics 3 (AST-3), part of Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course 2-23, at Kiwanis Park, Yuma, Arizona, April 14, 2023. WTI, hosted by MAWTS-1, is a seven-week course providing standardized advanced tactical training and certification of unit instructor qualifications to support Marine aviation training and readiness. AST-3 is a multi-mission evolution consisting of a Non-combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) as well as Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA) operations. This evolution allows the prospective WTIs to plan, brief and execute both missions while shifting their focus towards an in-depth review and dissection of rules of engagement, military authorities and civil considerations.
