The NA 33rd is organized under three Wings: the 26th Air Force, the 6th Carrier Wing, and the 17th Whirling Scourge. Flight operations reinforce the need for coordination between all aircraft in the AO. This is facilitated through live GCI and Strike Command in every mission.

The highest level of command at the NA 33rd consists of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Staff Officer, Head Drill Instructor, Field Specialist (team is responsible for mission creation and enhancement), Training Specialist, and Public Information Administrator. Drilling down through the Navy, Air Force, and Rotary platoons, promotion opportunities also exist as Platoon Commander, Squadron Lead, and Flight lead. Under the watchful eye of the HDI, a staff of highly-qualified Drill Instructors conduct Basic Badge requirements with new recruits, as well as more Advanced Badge qualifications as needed. Finally, Server Administrator and Technician roles ensure the continued health of the four DCS instances operating under TAW DCS NA batallion. Those folks willing to contribute to a thriving community of DCS enthusiasts will always have ample opportunities at TAW.

Where the Mirage lacks in more modern technology, the squadron strikes from the shadows and gets out before the enemy knows what hit them.

AJS-37 Viggen

The 73rd Attack Squadron focuses on precision and planned strikes. Nicknamed Gremlins, these pilots clip trees at high speeds with the AJS 37 Viggen. Like a bolt of lightning the Gremlins strike and are gone in a flash. Focusing on entrenched targets, runways and ships the Gremlins bring an extra punch to the fight. When needed, the Gremlins ride the tip of the spear as the eyes of the NA 33rd Battalion with reconnaissance missions.

Rattlers are stationed at various airfields around the Caucasus and Persian Gulf theatres of operation.

A-10C Warthog

Punishers’ tool of choice for Close Air Support missions is the A-10C Warthog. Under the protection of the CAP flights, the Punishers support rotary mission objectives by raining down terror with their massive weapons loadouts, as well as the ‘brrrrrrrrttt’.

F-4E Phantom II

The mission of the 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron is to provide allied forces with tactical and strategic support through deep penetration strikes and battlefield area interdiction as well as supporting the Ironhand mission with DEAD when called upon all while maintaining a lethal aerial presence in their respective AO’s.  The Black Sheep employ the legendary F-4E Phantom II in these roles exercising its immense ordinance carrying capability and sturdy airframe to get into a target area, put ordinance on that target accurately and get back out again all with a violence befitting this icon’s status.  Don’t be fooled by the name, these Black Sheep are anything but sheepish!  Unhindered by the Phantom’s age, they employ their aircraft to its fullest capability, always relying on sound tactics, good flying discipline and stringent planning to get the job done!

The Wing is capable of conducting strikes on strategic and tactical targets deep into enemy territory while providing its own escort and SEAD flights and will also stay proficient in supporting CAS requirements.
