Colt Garman, left, a rifle Marine with Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, talks to a simulated foe during Assault Support Tactics 3 (AST-3), part of Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course (WTI) 2-23, at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California, April 14, 2023. WTI, hosted by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One, 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 noncombatant evacuation operation as well as Foreign Humanitarian Assistance 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.
