Naval Air Station Fallon – Sea Wolf SWTI class 02-14 poster art.

The Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC, pronounced “EN-SOCK”) at Naval Air Station Fallon located in the city of Fallon in western Nevada is the “Center of excellence for naval aviation training and tactics development”. NSAWC provides service to aircrews, squadrons and air wings throughout the United States Navy through flight training, academic instructional classes, and direct operational and intelligence support. There are two distinct areas of NSAWC training using the FRTC extensively – carrier air wing (CVW) training and the “TOPGUN” SFTI and “SEAWOLF” SWTI courses. Air wing training brings together all of an air wing’s squadrons for four weeks, providing strike planning and execution training opportunities in a dynamic, realistic, scenario-driven simulated wartime environment.

The Navy Rotary Wing Weapons School (N8) instructs graduate-level rotary wing employment through the “SEAWOLF” Seahawk Weapons and Tactics Instructor(SWTI) course. It also conducts the Strike Leader Attack Training Syllabus (SLATS), Senior Officers Course (SOC), assists N5 with airwing training, and manages the Navy’s Mountain Flying Course. This artwork depicts SWTI “class 02-14“.
