Whether active duty or Department of Defense civilian, every Airmen is essential to mission success. Joining the flight test mission at Edwards requires context and exposure that is unique to the installation. To help strengthen an individual's capabilities and knowledge within test, the 412th Test Wing Operations Group, in partnership with broader Wing leadership, worked to create a formal 412th Test Wing immersion program. This structured, multi-year engagement takes applications for internal team members based on scope of work and job performance. Individuals then dedicate specific hours each week to learning, executing, and experiencing key fundamentals of test operations to better enhance their understanding within day-to-day responsibilities. The new course was designed by modifying previously existing training requirements and other readily available resources to help organize the content in an efficient manner. Team members within the immersion program become closer to their peers while becoming more impactful for the warfighting mission test supports. (Air Force video by Christian Raterman)
