"Producing the Cutting Edge"

The mission of the Basic Warfighter Skills Division is to train Active, Army Reserve, National Guard, and Allied student pilots in basic warfighter skills and tactics, to include hands-on flight tasks. This is one of the most challenging phases of training at the Aviation Warfighting Center. 

Students learn individual aviation warrior tasks that deliver to the field an Aviator ready for crew integration. After completion of this FSXXI phase of training, the student will continue to their advanced aircraft qualification with the knowledge they have received to further hone their warfighting skills in the mission specific to their assigned aircraft.
