Col. Simon Doran, Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 11 commanding officer, speaks about the MAG-11 training exercise at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Feb. 1. More than 30 aircraft participated in this training to exercise the unit's real-world capabilities. Exercises such as this provide realistic, relevant training necessary for 3rd MAW to “Fix, Fly, and Fight” as the Marine Corps’ largest aircraft wing and ensures the unit remains combat-ready, inter-operable, deployable on short notice, and lethal when called into action.
