    A U.S. Marine Corps AH-1Z Viper assigned to Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) fires at an unmanned aircraft system during Assault Support Tactics 1 as part of Weapons and Tactics Instructor course 1-26 near Chocolate Mountains Aerial Gunnery Range, California, Oct. 13, 2025. AST-1 is a daytime, force-on-force event which affords prospective weapons and tactics instructors the opportunity to plan, brief, and execute a company-reinforced air assault while integrating the six functions of Marine Aviation.
