Ground Team Academy 2023

We are pleased to announce the return of the Minnesota Wing Ground Team Academy. The MNWG GTA will be taking Cadets and Senior with any level of ES experience through ALL training required for the Ground Team 3 rating. If you are a qualified Ground Team member, we encourage you to come to the GTA to share your experience and renew your qualifications.

If you are more interested in the Mission Base side of ES compared to the ground side, we will also be offering training for Mission Radio Operators and Mission Staff Assistants.

If you are working on any advanced qualifications, please reach out to the GTA team directly at GTA@mncap.org

GTA is seeking qualified Ground Team Leaders to provide training to our teams.
