Collateral Billets and the First-Tour Aviator

Abstract

According to the Marine Corps' Aviation and Readiness Training Manual, "Marine Aviation plays a crucial role in the MAGTF's ability to conduct Maneuver Warfare. The ultimate goal of Marine Aviation is to attain the highest possible combat readiness to support Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare while at the same time preserving and conserving our Marines and Equipment." Like many other highly-skilled professions, the learning curve is steep for aviators during their first tour in the fleet. It is crucial during this initial tour to build a strong tactical knowledge base that will serve as a foundation for years to come.
