Training Management in the CH-46E Community After MAWTS-1 Stands Down Its CH-46E Division

Abstract

This paper examines the future role of Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) in the management of the Weapons and Tactics Training Program (WTTP), Training and Readiness (T&R) program and advanced instructor certification of aircrew in Marine Medium Helicopter Squadrons (HMM) as they transition to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadrons (VMM). In doing so, this paper provides a historical background of the unique difficulties posed by the transition from CH-46E to the MV-22B, the current transition plan for the remaining HMMs, and an examination of the current management structure of the WTTP as it relates to the CH-46E, and the CH-46E T&R program. The examination focuses on the management of the WTTP and T&R Manual, and the entities that exist to perform that duty in lieu of MAWTS-1, as the HMM community draws down throughout the Marine Corps. Through this examination, recommendations are made on how the Marine Corps can pursue alternative means of T&R Manual syllabus sponsorship and WTTP management for the CH-46E community while it prepares for the MV-22B transition.
