Gen. Anthony M. Henderson, along with the commanding general of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, Brig. Gen. Simon M. Doran, established the Marine Corps Attack Drone Team, or MCADT, on Jan. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team will focus on integrating first-person view drones \u2014 aerial vehicles that transmit a live feed of their bird\u2019s-eye view to remote displays \u2014 into the Fleet Marine Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s battlefield is changing rapidly, and we must adapt just as quickly. The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team will ensure that our warfighters remain at the forefront of precision drone employment, providing a critical advantage in future conflicts,\u201d said Maj. Alejandro Tavizon, the Weapons Training Battalion Headquarters Company commander and officer in charge of MCADT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team, based at Weapons Training Battalion at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, is set to \u201cdevelop and refine\u201d armed first-person view drone training, speed up the timeline for the technology\u2019s fielding and provide instruction through live training events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MCADT will soon make its competition debut at the U.S. National Drone Association\u2019s Military Drone Crucible Championship, which will take place from June 30 to July 3 in Florida. The team will compete against the 75th Ranger Regiment, among other units, by completing tactical missions that simulate combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2025\/03\/19\/ukraine-claims-to-have-fielded-a-drone-killing-laser-weapon\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-2033186261.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Ukraine claims to have fielded a drone-killing laser weapon<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The device is known as \u201cTryzub,\u201d or trident in English, referencing the Ukrainian national symbol.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps is particularly focused on the financial implications of drones. In a statement, the service noted the technology offered a range of up to 20 kilometers for under $5,000, a metric it says is more cost-effective than other costly weapons systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now, our focus is on rapidly building proficiency by sending Marines to a variety of training courses and increasing hands-on familiarization,\u201d Tavizon said. \u201cOur goal is to ensure they can not only operate these systems effectively but also integrate them seamlessly into a team. This means mastering primary platforms, having redundancy with backup systems, and getting the necessary repetitions to employ payloads with precision under real-world conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine and Russia have employed the use of drones in their years-long war. Most recently, Russia launched 109 drones in a recent attack, according to The Kyiv Independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yemen Houthi rebels \u2014 a militant group <a
