Strike Fighter Weapons School Pacific

SFWSPAC was established on October 15, 1973, at Naval Air Station Lemoore as Light Attack Weapons School, Pacific (LAWSPAC).

Soon, the Chief of Naval Operations recognized the need for postgraduate weapons training and expressed the desire to create a commissioned unit, the stated goal was that “eventually all pilots and every career aviator should have special training in weapons."

On July 1, 1988, LAWSPAC was redesignated to Strike Fighter Weapons School, Pacific due to the expanded growth of F/A-18 units in the Navy.

Today, SFWSPAC is dedicated to provide standardized graduate level training of F/A-18 weapons employment and dedicated to guaranteeing the combat readiness of the Strike Fighter Community by providing the best possible training in mission planning, tactics, weapons systems and ordnance handling.

Thirty weapons and tactics courses for strike fighter aircraft are taught on a continuing basis.
