U.S. Marines stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni begin a tour of an F-35B Lightning II aircraft with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 242, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, Dec. 5, 2024. These Marines were students of the first locally-offered blended Expeditionary Warfare School seminar at the air station. On this day, the students visited a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force museum, historic sites, and toured an F-35B Lightning II aircraft squadron to learn of the base's history and capabilities of the tenant commands. The Blended EWS Seminar Program provides company grade and warrant officers with formal education in amphibious operations and planning. This was the first iteration of the Blended EWS Seminar Program at MCAS Iwakuni, providing an important professional military education opportunity to the Marine officers stationed at this forward-deployed base.
