Lockheed Martin global training and logistics training and engineering services vice-president Jim Weitzel said the training provided aircrews with the ability to successfully prepare for real-world scenarios.
The C-130 ATS is the Department of Defense’s formal C-130 training centre for all US Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coastguard forces.
