AATTC The mission of the Advanced Airlift Tactics Center Training Center (AATTC) is increasing the
warfighting effectiveness and survivability of mobility forces.

The AATTC is in its third decade of providing advanced tactical training to airlift aircrews from the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Combat Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, United States Marine Corps, and 16 allied nations. Through a Total Force Initiative, AATTC also provides Tactics Analysis, Tactics Development, and Electronic Warfare Deve

lopment for the mobility community. The AATTC functions as a clearinghouse for gathering and disseminating airlift tactics information. Since 1983, the AATTC has hosted an annual tactics symposium in St. Joseph, MO. Attendees from all branches of the Department of Defense as well as government contractors and numerous allied nations are represented. Serving as the cornerstone for aircraft tactics, the AATTC has maintained a reputation as the mobility air force’s “Tactics Center of Excellence” since its inception.

We're playing around with ideas for new logos. Some might say it's simple and unimaginative, but why over complicate things. A grilled cheese like wise has no frills or thrills, but it's been a staple of western society for hundreds of years! It's literally just bread and cheese - but mmm mmm! It's always a treat that hits right! ;)

(Not to worry - we would never change the legendary AATTC logo)

AATTC has always had a strong relationship with our international partners. It's great to see our friends from the Royal New Zealand Air Force swing back to our part of the world for another lap around the skies, for the Advanced Tactics Aircrew Course. Next up - the Arizona phase!

Assault landings are just one piece in the AATTC’s tool box to sharpen visiting aircrew’s ability to employ and perform during wartime and contingency taskings. The Advanced Tactics Aircrew Course helps simulate those high-intensity, degraded and operationally limited environments that crews might experience in future real-world operations.

To throw simulated threats at unexpecting aircrew, surface-to-air rocket simulator known as “Smokey Sams” are launched to teach aircrews how to employ defensive tactics. At times like this the Arizona sky over the ranges of Fort Huachuca are filled with chaff and flare. It’s like the 4th of July every day during the Advanced Tactics Aircrew Course.

After finishing up a week of training in the Missouri summer humidity, 3 aircrews attending the Advanced Tactics Aircrew Course arrive at our 2nd home of U.S. Army Fort Huachuca to do some low level-dirt landing-threat avoidance fun, in the beautiful desert scenery of Arizona.
