Since 2003, the United States has been fighting a two front operation in the Middle East that has resulted in the rapid development and employment of operationally relevant technologies. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) are one such advent that adds an enormous situational awareness improvement for the ground commander. The Marine UAS squadron (VMU) in its current table of organization (TO) has supported this mission well. The recently released Marine Corps UAS CONOPS extends this model with the anticipation of Group 4 (weaponized)UASs to the VMU; however, training to this new capability is lacking. This document will attempt to examine the validity of new training for VMU personnel that will enable them to successfully execute the future mission of Group 4 weaponized UASs.
