U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, Camp Pendleton, California, provides close-air support to the 66th Weapons Squadron Weapons Instructor Course (WIC) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Aug. 20, 2020. HMLA-169 provided rotary wing fire support and airlift to joint terminal attack controllers while they advanced through a medium threat environment. The WIC teaches instructors to become tactical experts in a cross-domain battlespace, equipping them with crucial experience and joint tactical knowledge to train their respective units, increasing overall combat capability and lethality across the forces.
