U.S. Marines with Marine Air Control Squadron 4 and Marine Wing Support Squadron 172, board the MV-22 Osprey, Aug. 6, 2020, at Ie Shima Training Facility, Okinawa, Japan. The Marines provided support for the assault support aircraft from 1st Marine Aircraft Wing during Operation Lightning Strike. The training was to prepare Prospective Weapons and Tactics Instructor (PWTI) students for what to expect when they attend future WTI courses. Marine Wing Support Squadron 172’s role was to provide the Forward Arming and Refueling Point to expand the combat radius and allow aviation ground support closer to the objective.
