U.S. AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom aircraft assigned to Marine Aviation
Weapons and Tactics Squadron One conduct joint air-to-ground missile and
other weapons testing
during Assault Support Tactics 2 (AST-2) during Weapons and Tactics Instructor
course 1-23 at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona.
AST-2 provides prospective WTIs
with 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.
