Four adversary squadrons, flying a mix of F/A-18s, F-16s, and F-5s provide critical mission support to TOPGUN classes and squadrons during SFARP and AIRWING training periods.  They also instruct during FRS detachments and provide support for Fleet unit level training evolutions. 

The VAQ-209 Star Warriors provide strategic depth to the electronic attack community and regularly participate in joint training exercises as well as deploy in support of real-world initiatives. 

TAR and SELRES personnel act as a force multiplier for F-35, F/A-18, EA-18, and E-2/C-2 Fleet Replacement Squadrons training the Fleet aircrew of tomorrow.  SAU personnel participate in squadron detachments and conduct approximately 20% of student training events.  NAWDC SAU members assist in the execution of AIRWING events and run Viper U, training pilots to fly the F-16.
