NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. – Raven will soon be a common name to every Marine who has completed The Basic School (TBS) officer course.
Thirteen TBS instructors finished a two-week course May 22, where they learned how to operate, maintain and integrate the RQ-11B Raven small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) into their upcoming basic school curriculum. The course, held at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia, was led by a team from the  Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMA-263) Training and Logistics Support Activity (TALSA).
