Rotor Review Submissions 
Next Issue: Summer 2025 #169

Thank you for the submissions and support with Rotor Review Issue #168 "First Off Deck." The content from this issue made us think about how training and preparation played into the success of submissions such as "Red Sea Rescue" and "A CEL OIC's Introduction to Combat at Sea." 

In the upcoming summer issue of Rotor Review, entitled "Train to Fight," we'd like to focus on the way we train and how vital it is to mission success.

 

Here are a few questions and food for thought on the subject:

- How do you train in your squadron, and how has it resulted in success or lessons learned?

- How has the training pipeline prepared you for your experience during deployment?

- How could squadron training be improved to create overmatch against the threat?

- What sort of training or platform innovations could be adopted to prepare you for the evolving deployment landscape?

- Finally, deploying into “harm’s way” has become a reality – so how are you preparing yourself for combat operations? 

Of course, we welcome all content even if it is not theme related. The deadline for RR #169 is 01 JUL. Submissions and questions may be sent to [email protected]g.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you!
