While Marine leaders recognize that VMUs need consistent advocacy, VMU fires integration knowledge is equally important. An unmanned aerial systems aircraft commander primary military occupation specialty transition board convenes in the summer of 2011. Eight aviators with fighter and/or attack backgrounds must permanently transition to VMU squadrons. These officers will lead VMU fires integration into the Marine Corps offensive air support architecture.
