TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Whether it is unprepared, semi-prepared, or paved (prepared), a landing zone survey must be conducted to evaluate the risk of safely using any landing surface for military air-land operations.
To conduct an LZ survey, 621st Contingency Response Wing LZ surveyors had to attend a course offered by outside agencies to include the U.S. Marine Corps’ Marine Survey and Assault Zone Assessment Course provided by the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) in Yuma, Arizona.
Now, the 621st CRW can organically train its forces from within, streamlining training and readiness across the wing.
“The LZ Survey Course was a wing initiative established by our Airmen who constantly come up with innovative ways to positively impact mission readiness,” Col. Jason Herring, 621st CRW commander said. “We have always had the capability, but it took forward-thinking to develop a plan to have Air Force Special Operations Command combat controllers certify our mission ready airmen and empower them to certify others at our home duty stations in the future.”
