AWIC encompasses a range of academic activities and practical exercises that expose the candidates to complex scenarios, broadening and improving their skills; graduating humble, knowledgeable, approachable and expert instructors.

AWIC22 integrates warfighting functions across a range of specialisations to develop expert air warfare instructors who will represent the next generation of tactical and integrated warfare experts across the air combat spectrum.

No. 1 Squadron deployed F/A-18F Super Hornets from RAAF Base Amberley to RAAF Base Darwin for this exercise, providing Pilots and Weapons Systems Officers on the Fighter Combat Instructor (FCI) Course with the opportunity to work with a range of other Air Force capabilities, plan and execute missions, and complete their training under AWIC.
