A U.S. Marine assigned to Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One, carries a M3A1 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapons System in an assault raid exercise during Assault Support Tactics 2 (AST-2), part of Weapons and Tactics Instructors (WTI) course 1-24, at Laguna Army Airfield, Arizona, Oct. 18, 2023. WTI is an advanced, graduate-level course for selected pilots and enlisted aircrew providing standardized advanced tactical training and assists in developing and employing aviation weapons and tactics. AST-2 provides prospective weapons and tactics instructors the opportunity to plan, brief, and execute a daytime, battalion-sized, live-fire air assault mission to multiple objective areas, while integrating combined arms and the six functions of Marine Aviation within an expeditionary advanced base operations scenario.
