Squadrons with Marine Corps Air Station New River and
Summary
Squadrons with Marine Corps Air Station New River and MCAS Cherry Point joined forces with Marines from Company C, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, to complete a notional mission of killing or capturing a high-value target during a raid of an enemy compound. The aircraft simulated the bombardment of the compound with Hellfire missiles, 50 cal. machine guns and M-240 machine guns from AH-1W cobras, UH-1Y Hueys, and AV-8B Harriers. The infantry Marines were inserted into the compound by MV-22B Ospreys and CH-53E Super Stallions after the aerial attack to confirm the HVT was killed or to capture him and to prevent the compound from being used again to train enemy combatants.
