Last year, the Budget Control Act caused the cancellation of community outreach programs across the Department of Defense. The Marine Corps has worked closely with the other Services and the DoD to create a revised, yet impactful way of connecting with the public, given consideration to current and future budgets.
The AV-8B Harrier and the MV-22 Osprey flight demonstration is one of the most sought-after aerial demonstrations offered by the U.S. military. Demonstrations are performed by the same aircraft and Marines who train and deploy in support of real-world contingencies. For this reason, Headquarters Marine Corps selects a handful of events to receive the coveted demonstration during the annual AV-8B Harrier and MV-22 Osprey Flight Demonstration Board.
