An MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and an F-35C Lightning II with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 314, MAG -11, 3rd MAW, fly in an escort formation during a training evolution off the coast of San Clemente Island, California, Jan. 24, 2023. The training evolution improves distributed operations capabilities in a contested maritime environment combining multiple different aircraft platforms. During the evolution, VMFA-314 utilized the full-suite of F-35C capabilities to sanitize the airspace, intercept simulated opposing forces, integrate with other aircraft for refined targeting coordination, and provide substantial on-station time.
