Staff Sgt. Richard DeBolt, Joint Terminal Attack Controller, 817th Expeditionary Air Support Operations Squadron, scans the below terrain during a short helicopter flight to a forward operating base in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan, Oct. 4, 2012. DeBolt is deployed from Ft. Carson, CO., and is tasked to support ground operations in Regional Command-East, near the Pakistan border. DeBolt and fellow JTAC members provide ground forces with air superiority by controlling overhead aircraft that are able to deliver multiple weapons systems, as well as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. JTACs and Radio Operators, Maintainers, and Drivers train and operate alongside their Army counterparts in order to prepare them for kinetic situations while outside the wire.
