Marine Corps tactical fixed-wing aircrew are expected to develop into confident and proficient operators of some of the most capable weapon systems in the world. Yet Marine Corps aviation commands are compromising the development of these same individuals. To prevent the degradation of unit capability and individual proficiency within the tactical fixed-wing community, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) needs to grant on-station continuation periods to individuals selected at the Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) and Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) level to fill individual augment (IA) positions. By requiring tactical fixed-wing aircrew to rotate on the same timeline as their peer group despite filling IA positions midtour, the Marine Corps is receiving less than three years of MOS-related service from the affected tactical aviators. An equal amount of on-station continuation should be applied to these individuals. Without a time extension, squadrons will see fewer and fewer aircrew receiving higher level qualifications, which will continue to deteriorate squadrons' capabilities, adversely affecting the overall quality of support to Marines on the ground.
