epa07095459 A handout picture provided by the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) showing aRoyal Air Force CH-47 Chinook flying with a USMC CH-53 Sea Stallion during a twilight training sortie in Arizona, USA, 13 October 2018, (issued 15 October 2018). The MOD report that two Royal Air Force Chinook CH-47 helicopters from 27 Sqn, RAF Odiham located in Hampshire, Britain have deployed to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona, USA to take part in a twice-a-year training a development programme known as WTI. WTI stands for Weapons and Tactics Instructor, and is a course that aims to develop aircrew - both pilots and NCO's - to an instructional level. It is conducted in the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) building.Following completion of this, they will then be able to transfer and disseminate these skills to those in their chain of command. Not only are the aircrew trained to instructional level, but they are also able to practise and develop niche skillsets that would normally only be developed in active conflics. An example of this is deploying to a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) in order to provide rapid refueling and arming to other air and land assets in remote locations, often far from their main operating base.
