SB1: "I'd ask you and all your leadership to read this document and continue to discuss it, and as the Sergeant Major and I travel around we're going to talk to you about it and get your feedback.”(Also in the Corps) 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing squadrons completed Exercise Agile Lightning February 3rd. The week-long exercise took place at different military instalations in Southern California and Arizona, showcasing the F-35-B Lightning II's capabilities to conduct short takeoff and vertical landing operations in a robust and complex training environment. 1st Lieutenant Brian Easley, Tactical-Air-Operations-Center Senior-Air-Director with 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing says:SB1: "With the F-35-B(ravo)’s increased importance in the Marine Corps’ aviation, it gives us an opportunity to work with the F-35 for the first time and better understand how to employ and provide better control for that aircraft and their abilities as far as moving into the air and moving into a MAGTF.” That's it for your Marine Minute, for more news around the Marine Corps go to Marines-dot-mil.
