Gabriel Halcomb from Bloomington, Illinois, Cpl. David Walker-Hyde from Miami, Florida, and Lance Cpl. Christian Castaneda from San Juan Capistrano, California, ensure the aircraft remains ready during the operational test and evaluation of the joint air-to-ground missile (JAGM). VMX-1 fired and evaluated the JAGM to determine its suitability and effectiveness to support expeditionary advanced base operations and distributed operations, such as conducting sea denial operations within the littorals and supporting sea control operations.
