Description
Summary:The MV-22 Osprey brings new challenges and possibilities to Marine Corps aviation operations. Because of its unique capabilities, the Osprey has the possibility to develop into a versatile, utility-type role with an expanded mission-essential task list, rather than serving solely as the new medium lift assault support platform. However, the escort role must be addressed in order to better employ the Osprey as an assault support platform. It is up to assault support planners, weapons and tactics instructors (WTI's), and innovative aviators to further develop tactics, techniques, and procedures that will maximize the capabilities of this aircraft while fully integrating it into Marine Corps aviation operations.
