 The Weapons and Tactics instructor course is a semi-annual course held here in Umea, Arizona and put on by MOTS-1. The WTI course serves to train individuals in order to become training officers and go back to their fleet marine units. We expose them to mission sets that they perhaps haven't seen before in order to prepare them for combat. Our goal is to train a WTI and have him see the full spectrum of operations so that he's prepared for anything when he goes back to the fleet. WTI is important to the Marine Corps because of the product that it produces. For a training continuum within the Marine Corps, one of the cornerstones of WTI again is the production of that Weapons and Tactics instructor that goes to the fleet and serves in that training officer billet. That Weapons and Tactics instructor is the training expert and a continuity in the fleet to ensure not only that his unit is trained, but that adjacent units can be assessed or helped to train them as well and then serve in key staff officer billets to help facilitate training throughout the Marine Corps. While it is a very aviation-centric exercise and it's focused on producing weapons and tactics instructors for fleet aviation units, we also provide a number of other venues for units to train. While we don't train units that come through the weapons and tactics instructor course, units that come to support get good training just by participating in many of our exercises.
