All members of Carrier Strike Group THREE endure a training program which is designed to build a humble yet lethal virtual aviator.
PHASES
- Phase One: Initial Qualification Training - Designed to cover subjects ranging from startup/shutdown and ground operations to basic flying skills.
- Phase Two: Mission Capable Qualification - Designed to build on subjects learned in phase one and add pre and non-combat related mission tasks such as tactical formations, FENCE checks, and datalink familiarization. This is also the phase where pilots learn air to air refueling and complete their carrier qualifications.
- Phase Three: Combat Mission Qualification - CMQ is designed to focus on the fundamentals and tactics employed by an aviator in the Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface combat environment. Air-to-Air tactics include section engaged maneuvering, beyond visual range tactics and within visual range tactics. Air-to-Surface tactics include strike fundamentals, individual, sectional, and divisional surface attacks.
