I\u2019m your host, retired Air Force Lt Col Mark \u201cSluggo\u201d Hasara\u2014KC-135 pilot, Joint Specialty Officer, and full-throttle aviation fanatic for over 60 years. In this episode, we finish a powerful two-part dive into Marine Corps aviation weapons, tactics, techniques, and procedures with my good friend Colonel Byron \u201cShrek\u201d Sullivan. Shrek is a combat-proven pilot with time in both the F\/A-18 Hornet and the F-35 Lightning II. And about halfway through the episode, we\u2019re joined by the former Commander of Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One\u2014better known as MAWTS-1. These two Marines didn\u2019t just fly jets. They rewrote how the Corps fights from the air. From the deserts of Yuma to forward air bases around the world, they explain how new aircraft like the F-35 and the MV-22 Osprey forced a total rethink of Marine air tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). It\u2019s a behind-the-scenes look at how real innovation happens in the military\u2014by combat aviators in the fight. If you love the sound of jet engines, joint warfare, or just hearing how the world\u2019s best warfighters sharpen the sword, this episode is for you. \ud83d\udeeb Fuel the Flight Deck \u2013 Join The All Ranks Club Want more content like this?
