In February, the U.S. Navy took delivery of the first CMV-22B Osprey aircraft as the primary aircraft to conduct Airborne Re-supply/Logistics to the Sea Base. The CMV-22B platform will eventually replace the C-2 Greyhound across the Navy.
Modernization of any program, regardless of service, is a complex process to ensure the proper manpower, training and equipment meets the highest standards for operation. At times, this requires creative solutions and opportunities to train service members and ready the force.
U.S. Navy sailors, who will eventually transition to the CMV-22B Osprey, are currently deployed to the Middle East with the California-Based Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 166, a Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey squadron. The squadron currently serves as the Aviation Combat Element for Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force – Crisis Response – Central Command.
