• Ground Training Wing

  The Ground Training Wing (GTW) is one of the prominent training formations at SLAF Academy China Bay that is dedicated to nurture and groom Officer Cadets to become competent and disciplined Officers in SLAF after completion of their initial combat training at SLAF Combat Training School Diyatalawa. In this backdrop, GTW exclusively conducts Service Administration Module for Officer Cadets of all branches and other training facets/modules with respect to the BSc Aviation Degree Programme in view of producing professionally qualified Officers in the branches of Technical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Logistic and Administrative branches.

  The GTW is also fully geared to provide Basic Gunner Training for Recruits on the requirements of AFHQ from time to time. Further, the Wing provides administrative support for the Airmen and Airwomen Specialized English Language Training Courses, Provost Trade Basic and Advanced Training Courses and Operations Air Advanced Training Courses whilst ensuring the highest standard of discipline of all trainees.

The lodger formation was first established as the Combat Training School (CTS) on 13 January 1993. Later the scope of the School was changed to cater the growing regimental training requirements of SLAF in parallel to the rapid development of the organization and thus the Combat Training School was retitled as the Ground Training Wing on 15 July 2013. Presently, Ground Training Wing reflects its role and scope in professional training for Officer Cadets by conducting major curriculums of the BSc Aviation Degree Programme.
