The USMC Air Schools, also known as United States Marine Corps Aviation Training, is a division within the United States Marine Corps responsible for training aviation personnel. This includes pilots, aircrew, maintainers, and support staff who operate fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and tactical unmanned aerial systems. The schools are located at various bases across the country, such as Pensacola, Florida (for initial flight training) and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona (for advanced flight training). The USMC Air Schools' mission is to provide highly skilled aviation personnel to support the Marine Air-Ground Task Force in defending the nation.
