More than 270 aviators and support personnel arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma for the latest biannual United States Marine Corps Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course (WT1) in March. Facilitated by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1 (MAWTS-1) since 1978, the seven-week course, provides advanced tactical aviation training to create weapons and tactics instructors. WTI2-15 took place in March and April. In a Marine Corps interview earlier this year, Major Douglas Seich, the MAWTS-1 operations officer, said: "WTI js characterised by advanced tactical training that encompasses full-spectrum operations. When units come here, and individuals train via WTI, we expose them to mission sets that they perhaps haven't seen before in order to prepare them for combat."
