Detachments allow FRS students to experience different operating environments and airspace, enhancing their tactical training. VAQ-129's mission is to produce combat-ready EA-18G Growler crews, and detachments to locations like New Orleans expand the training opportunities available to student electronic warfare officers and pilots.
