The 54th Training Squadron assigned to 54th Fighter Group stationed at Holloman AFB, NM, is responsible for developing the skills and expertise of future fighter pilots and has four primary mission areas.
- Programmed flying training. This is how the 54th TRS coordinates with the Numbered Air Force/Air Education and Training Command regarding the number of F-16 Viper students and when they will start training.
- Academics – instructor pilots and subject matter experts are the primary developers and trainers of the academic material and simulators. The F-16 Syllabus consists of over 400 hours of educational training, mostly in person. The instructor pilot subject matter experts lay the foundation for the whole of the program.
- Simulators – the squadron schedules, manages, and operates 14 F-16 simulators training students on multiple scenarios and environments.
- Syllabus development – the squadron is the primary point of contact for syllabus development. The 54th TRS coordinates with AETC, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve Command to establish F-16 flying syllabi.
