It covers the VMFT mission, organization, mission-essential tasks, Marine Aviation functions, skill matrices, readiness reporting, and training standards. It also specifies instructor designations, qualifications, annual refresher events, and CMMR training requirements.
The goal of Marine Aviation is to attain and maintain combat readiness to support Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare while conserving resources.
Training Events are based on specific requirements and performance standards to ensure a common base of training and depth of combat capability.
Core METs are those tasks that a unit is expected to execute at all times, and are the only METs used in reporting the Training Level (T-Level) for the Core Mission (C-Level) in the Defense Readiness Reporting System – Marine Corps (DRRS-MC).
Core Plus METs may be included in readiness reporting when contained within an Assigned Mission METL.
An Assigned Mission METL consists of only selected METs (drawn from Core and Core Plus METs) necessary to conduct the assigned mission.
