A combination of sensor capability, integrated avionics, situational awareness and weapons provides F-22 pilots with a first-look, first-shot, first-kill advantage over adversaries.

A key factor in helping the unit clinch the award was the tactics, techniques, and procedures the airmen had developed during its deployment in Guam in July. The information was incorporated into the latest F-22 Raptor tactics manual.
