Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC) at Naval Air Station Fallon is the center of excellence for naval aviation training and tactics development. NAWDC 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. The command consists of more than 120 officers, 140 enlisted and 50 contract personnel. NAWDC flies and maintains F/A-18C/D Hornets, F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, E/A-18G Growlers, F-16 Fighting Falcons and MH-60S Seahawk helicopters.

History:
Prior to June 2015, NAWDC was known as Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) which was the consolidation of three commands into a single command structure on July 11, 1996. NSAWC was comprised of the Naval Strike Warfare Center (STRIKE "U") based at NAS Fallon since 1984, and two schools from NAS Miramar, the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) and the Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School (TOPDOME).

Mission:
NAWDC is the Navy's center of excellence for air combat training and tactics development.  NAWDC trains naval aviation in advanced Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) across assigned combat mission areas at the individual, unit, integrated and joint levels, ensuring alignment of the training continuum; to set and enforce combat proficiency standards; to develop, validate, standardize, publish and revise TTPs.  In addition, NAWDC provides subject matter expertise support to strike group commanders, numbered fleet commanders, Navy component commanders and combatant commanders; to lead training and warfighting effectiveness assessments and identify and mitigate gaps across all platforms and staffs for assigned mission areas as the supported WDC; collaborate with other WDCs to ensure cross-platform integration and alignment.  NAWDC's individual mission requirements include:

N2:  The Information Warfare Directorate at NAWDC is responsible for ensuring command leadership and personnel are provided the full capabilities of the Information Warfare Community (IWC) to support combat readiness and training of Carrier Air Wings and Strike Groups.  The Directorate is comprised of four areas of focus: Air Wing Intelligence Training, the Maritime ISR (MISR) Cell, Targeting, and Command Information Services (CIS).  The Air Wing Intelligence Training Division is responsible for training CVW Intelligence Officers and Enlisted Intelligence Specialists in strike support operations.  The MISR Cell is tasked with providing ISR integration into Carrier Air Wing training as well as qualifying MISR Package Commanders and Coordinators.  The Targeting Division trains and certifies all CVW Targeteer personnel and provides distributed reach-back support for deployed units worldwide regarding target development.  CIS provides cyber security and computer network operations for the entire NAWDC enterprise.

 N3:  NAWDC Operations department (N3) is responsible for the coordination, planning, synchronization, and scheduling for the operations of the command, its assigned aircraft, and airspace and range systems within the Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC).

 N4:  NAWDC's Maintenance Department is the heart of training for all the NAWDC schoolhouses.  Maintenance's focus is providing mission-ready fleet and adversary aircraft configured with required weapons and systems for all training evolutions.  We support day to day training missions with the F-16 Viper, F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, E-2C Hawkeye and the MH-60S Seahawk; conducting scheduled and un-scheduled maintenance on 39 individual aircraft.  These aircraft and weapon systems are the foundation for all other NAWDC Department's training syllabi.

N5:  Responsible for training Naval aviation in advanced Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) across assigned combat mission areas at the individual, unit, integrated and joint levels, ensuring alignment of the training continuum; to set and enforce combat proficiency standards; to develop, validate, standarize, publish and revise TTPs.  Also provides subject matter expertise support to strike group commanders, numbered fleet commanders, Navy component commanders and combatant commanders; to lead training and warfighting effectiveness assessments and identify and mitigate gaps across all platforms and staffs for assigned mission areas as the supported WDC; and collaborates with other WDCs to ensure cross-platform intergration and alignment.

    NAWDC's Joint Close-Air Support (JCAS) Division continues to answer the needs of current theater operations with increased production of Joint Terminal Attack Controllers Course (JTACC). NAWDC JCAS primarily trains Naval Special Warfare and Riverine Group personnel, but has this year also trained U.S. Army Special Operations, U.S. Marine Corps Air and Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers, international personnel, as well as U.S. Navy Fixed and Rotary Wing Forward-Air Controller (Airborne) personnel.  NAWDC's JCAS branch is the U.S. Navy's designated representative to the Coalition JCAS Executive Steering Committee, and is a recognized authority on kinetic air support to information warfare (IW), tactical precision targeting, and digitally aided CAS.

N6:  Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School (CAEWWS), also referred to as TOP DOME, is the E-2 weapon school and responsible for Airborne Tactical Command and Control advanced individual training via the Hawkeye Weapons and Tactics Instructors (HEWTIs) class.  CAEWWS is also responsible for development of community Tactics, Technique and Procedures and provides inputs to the acquisition process in the form of requirements and priorities for research and development (R&D), procurement, and training systems.  CAEWWS works closely to support other Warfare Development Centers and Weapons Schools; such as the Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center's Integrated Air Defense Course (IADC) and Integrated Air and Missile Defense WTI Integration Course (IWIC).  Other functions include support to advanced integrated fleet training by way of WTI augmentation to the N5/STRIKE Department for CVW integrated training detachments; also known as Air Wing Fallon Detachment and support of squadron activities.

N7:  In the early stages of the Vietnam War, the tactical performance of Navy fighter aircraft against seemingly technologically inferior adversaries, the North Vietnamese MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21, fell far short of expectations and caused significant concern among national leadership.  Based on an unacceptable ratio of combat losses, in 1967, ADM Tom Moorer, Chief of Naval Operations, commissioned an in-depth examination of the process by which air-to-air missile systems were acquired and employed.  Among the multitude of findings within this report was the critical need for an advanced fighter weapons school, designed to train aircrew in all aspects of aerial combat including the capabilities and limitations of Navy aircraft and weapon systems, along with those of the expected threat.

    In 1969, the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) was established to develop and implement a course of graduate-level instruction in aerial combat.  Today, TOPGUN continues to provide advanced tactics training for FA-18A-F aircrew in the Navy and Marine Corps through the execution of the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI) Course.  TOPGUN is the most demanding air combat syllabus found anywhere in the world.  The SFTI Course ultimately produces graduate-level strike fighter tacticians, adversary instructors, and Air Intercept Controllers (AIC) who go on to fill the critical assignment of Training Officer in fleet units.

N8:  Navy's Rotary Wing Weapons School is composed of a staff of 25 pilots and aircrewmen who instruct the Seahawk Weapons and Tactics Instructor program; provide tactics instructors to fleet squadrons;  maintain and develop the Navy's helicopter tactics doctrine via the SEAWOLF Manual; instruct the Navy's Mountain Flying School; provide high-altitude, mountainous flight experience for sea-going squadrons; and provide academic, ground, flight, and opposing-forces instruction for visiting aircrew during Air Wing Fallon detachments.

N9:   The NAWDC Safety Department (N9) serves as the principal advisor to the Commander on all matters pertaining to safe command operations and is responsible for administering the following safety programs: aviation, ground, ergonomics, motor vehicles (personal, commercial), recreation, and on- and off-duty.  Our goal is to eliminate preventable mishaps while maximizing operational readiness.  We accomplish this by preserving lives, preventing injury, and protecting equipment and material.

N10:  The US Navy's Airborne Electronic Attack Weapons School, call sign "HAVOC", stood up in 2011 to execute the NAWDC mission as it pertains to Electronic Warfare and the EA-18G Growler.  HAVOC is comprised of highly qualified Growler Tactics Instructors, or GTIs, that form the "tactical engine" of the EA-18G community, developing the tactics that get the most out of EA-18G sensors and weapons.  HAVOC's mission is also to train Growler Aircrew and Intelligence Officers on those tactics during the Growler Tactics Instructor Course.  The Growler Tactics Instructor Course is a rigorous 12 week syllabus of academic, simulator, and live fly events that earn graduates the Growler Tactics Instructor designation - the highest level of EA-18G tactical qualification that is recognized across Naval Aviation.  The Growler brings the most advanced tactical Electronic Warfare capabilities to operational commanders creating a tactical advantage for friendly air, land, and maritime forces by delaying, degrading, denying, or deceiving enemy kill chains.

N20:  The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) Department provides direct support to U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) in the development and standardization of tactics, techniques and procedures for the employment of the Tomahawk weapon system.  In addition, TLAM provides training to the CVW, fleet, and joint commands on TLAM capabilities and strike integration

The "Fighting Saints" of VFC-13 can trace their origins back to 1946, when VF-753 was commissioned flying F6F-5 "Hellcats." Today's squadron was formed on Sept. 1, 1973, at N.A.S. New Orleans during the reorganization of the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Initially, the squadron operated the Chance Vought F-8H "Crusader" with a complement of 17 officers and 127 enlisted men, former members of VSF-76 and VSF-86. In April 1974, the "Saints" made the transition to the single-seat A-4L "Skyhawk."

As the demand for west coast adversary services and other fleet support missions increased, the squadron was permanently transferred to N.A.S. Miramar, arriving there in February 1976. That summer, a transition was made from the A-4L to the more reliable two-seat TA-4J. The year 1983 marked the return of the single seat aircraft to VFC-13 and the arrival of the A-4E.

October 1993 marked the end of an era when VFC-13 made the transition to the single-seat, two engine F/A-18 "Hornet." This change further enhanced the squadron's ability to perform its adversary mission by providing an even more capable and realistic threat aircraft. In April 1996, the command relocated to N.A.S. Fallon and made the transition to the F-5E/F Tiger II, supported by McDonnell Douglas contract maintenance.

The "Fighting Saints" provide a formidable dissimilar adversary threat. In recognition of that primary mission assignment, VC-13 was proudly redesignated as Fighter Squadron Composite Thirteen (VFC-13) April 22, 1988.

VFC-13 provides the highest quality adversary training for regular Navy fleet and replacement squadrons and air wings, reserve fighter and attack squadrons, U.S.A.F. and U.S.M.C. units, and Canadian forces. The Fighting Saints have received three consecutive CNO Safety Awards, three Wing Golden Wrench Maintenance Awards, and in 1994 and 2011, the Battle "E" Efficiency Award.

Fleet Readiness Center West Detachment Fallon (FRC West) is designated as a fullF/A-18, F-5 E/F and F-16 support site for detachments of Strike Fighter Wing Detachment, Fallon, VFC-13 and NSAWC. Additionally, FRC West provides transient maintenance for carrier air wings and for USMC aircraft. Non F/A-18 repair actions of common aircraft systems are rendered whenever possible. FRC West has evolved into a new complex that includes a modern production control and quality assurance division with state-of-the-art airframes, NDI and a welding facility over the past several years. There are 30 mobile maintenance vans that house test benches for more than 15 avionics systems included in the complex.

In addition to this, there is an extensive type IV calibration lab and a new state-of-the-art hydraulics work center that houses HYAC, T-10 and STS benches. An aircraft sound abatement building (hush house) is also available. The hush house gives tenant commands and transient air wings a completely enclosed area to perform high and low power aircraft engine runs. Additionally, the facility has been configured with an oil laboratory as well as a test cell for the J85-6E-21 engine (F-5E/F).

FRC West’s motto of professionalism and excellence is embodied in every maintenance evolution performed, and it will continue to represent that in quality intermediate maintenance support.

The Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC), located in the high desert of northern Nevada approximately 65 miles east of Reno, NV, is a set of well defined geographic areas encompassing a land area and multiple air spaces. It is used primarily for training operations, with some capability to support research and development, and test and evaluation of military hardware, personnel, tactics, munitions, explosives, and electronic combat.

The geographic scope encompasses NAS Fallon and near-by range training areas, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rights-of-way, and 13,000 square miles of Special Use Airspace (SUA). The SUA is comprised of the 11 Military Operations Areas (MOAs), nine Restricted areas, ten Air Traffic Control Assigned Areas (ATCAAs), and an Aerial Refueling Route (ARR). Additionally, 17 Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Military Training Routes (MTRs), three helicopter MTRs, and 14 Low Level Visual Flight Rules (VFR) MTRs transit, terminate in, or are in close proximity to the FRTC. The FRTC encompasses over 234,124 acres of land area including the Bravo-16, Bravo-17, Bravo-19, Bravo-20, Dixie Valley, and Shoal Site training areas.

The Navy administers only 234,124 acres of the 6.5 million acres of land under the FRTC airspace, while the remainder consists largely of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Oakland and Salt Lake Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) control the airspace within the FRTC, which in turn delegate scheduling and coordination authority to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC).

The FRTC is particularly significant to the Department of Defense (DoD) because of its unique training and tactics development capabilities, extensive instrumentation and target sets, live ordnance impact areas, and its capability to provide Basic, Integration and Sustainment Phase training of Naval forces in the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP).

Mission
The mission of the FRTC is to support Navy and Marine Corps tactical training by providing the most realistic strike and integrated air warfare training available, maintaining and operating facilities, and providing services and equipment to support the U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Atlantic, and other operating forces. Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) operations are supported on a not to interfere basis.

Target Ranges
Bravo-16. The B-16 area has typically saline soil characterized by extensive alkali flats and areas of patchy desert sand and sparsely vegetated by sagebrush. Located south of the Sheckler Reservoir and nine miles southwest of NAS Fallon at an elevation of 3,942 feet, B-16 includes two conventional bull’s-eye targets. The West Conventional Weapons Bull provides night lighting; the East Conventional Weapons Bull does not.

Dixie Valley Training Area

The capability to provide forces with CSAR and non-ordnance CAS at FRTC is provided by approximately 80,000 acres of Navy-managed land within Dixie Valley. Four sub-areas make up the Dixie Valley training area:
• Leisy Ground Training Area
• Dixie Valley Settlement North
• Dixie Valley Settlement South
• Horse Creek

Dixie Valley Settlement South, situated on the valley floor, and the mountainous Horse Creek area, are the most frequently used areas within the Dixie Valley training area.

The 11 target clusters within the Dixie Valley training area are non-ordnance targets; lasing and ordnance drops are not authorized. The majority of these targets are found within Dixie Valley Settlement South, including Fort Apache–a 100,000 square foot complex of buildings, tracked and wheeled vehicles, tents, and a firing base for two 8-inch howitzers.

Within the Dixie North airspace working area, the Gabbs North MOA overlays the Dixie Valley Settlement and Horse Creek. The Gabbs North MOA extends from 100 feet AGL to FL180 but excludes restricted area R-4816N extending from 1,500 feet AGL to but not including FL180. Helicopter landings are permitted in the Navy-owned land within Horse Creek and Dixie Valley Settlement North and South at the aircrew’s discretion.

Shoal Site
NSW and CSAR training operations are conducted on the 2,560-acre Shoal Site training range. Located south of US Highway 50 and west of B-17, the Shoal Site is public land withdrawn by the Department of Energy (DOE). The Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 authorized a secondary withdrawal by the Navy for military use on the surface position of the DOE site.

Small Arms Training Range
Target range B-19 contains a small arms training area. This area includes a pistol/shotgun range, a zero range, an automated-record fire range, and a rifle/machine gun range.

Electronic Warfare Complex (EWC)
The Fallon EWC consists of a series of pre-approved fixed and mobile site locations spread through most of the FRTC as depicted in Figure 2-6. The fixed sites are centered in the Dixie Valley, 23 nm east of NAS Fallon at an elevation of 4,170 feet, which is characterized as high desert, moderately vegetated by sagebrush and a variety of high desert type flora. The EWC integrates with TACTS and R-4816 to provide a variety of EC training capabilities. EC services and strike/attack scenarios can be customized for specific mission training and include both fixed and mobile threat capabilities. The system supports specialized EC training, such as CSAR helicopter penetration and reconnaissance training, and provides real-time and post-engagement feedback. The EWC assets include SAM/AAA simulators; a command, control and communication network and emulator; search radar systems; and Electronic Support Measures/Electronic Countermeasures (ESM/ECM) systems.

NSAWC Working Areas
For safety and training efficiency, FRTC airspace is subdivided into NSAWC Working Areas. Though not strictly SUA, these areas can be scheduled only through NSAWC. The eight primary NSAWC working areas and their respective subdivisions are:
• Berlin East/West, High/Low
• Callaghan North/South
• Cortez North/South, High/Low
• Dixie North/South, High/Low
• Edwards North/South, High/Low
• Fairview
• Kingston
• Lone Rock

The ‘Low’ subdivisions encompass airspace below 10,000 feet MSL, while the ‘High’ sub-areas extend from 11,000 feet MSL to the top of the MOA boundary. One or more of these areas can be scheduled as required. The NSAWC working area boundaries are shown in Figure 2-5.

The eight primary working areas can be grouped into three major combined areas–NSAWC 1, NSAWC 2, and CAS 17/19. NSAWC 1 includes Lone Rock (including R-4813A), Dixie North, Edwards North, Cortez, Callaghan North, and Stillwater Corridor. NSAWC 2 consists of Fairview (including R-4804A), Dixie South, Berlin, Kingston, O’Toole, Shoshone, Middlegate, Edwards South, Callaghan South, and R-4812. NSAWC 1/2 are designed to provide support for training events involving 6 or more aircraft that require significant lateral dispersion. Scheduled together, the NSAWC 1/2 areas can be utilized jointly in COMMODORE events, which involve 12 or more aircraft. COMMODORE is an airspace and communications scheduling package that provides blanket airspace clearance for large-scale exercises. The area covered by the COMMODORE airspace clearance includes NSAWC 1 and NSAWC 2. The third major combined working area is CAS 17/19, which includes Dixie South, B-17 or B-19, R-4812, and Berlin West.

Four corridors, each 5 nm in width, have also been defined by NSAWC to facilitate safe and orderly transit within the FRTC airspace. The four corridors are named Middlegate, O’Toole, Shoshone, and Stillwater.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E O D) Detachment Fallon is a tenant command on N A S Fallon.  With the large amount of ordnance dropped on N A S Fallon ranges, it's up to the unit to conduct "render safe" procedures on all types of military and unconventional ordnance.  E O D conducts sweep operations for unexploded ordnance utilizing all-terrain vehicles and helicopters on Fallon's Range Training Complex.  The unit also maintains the Navy's only high altitude dive locker.
