Training, teamwork prepare combat controllers for war

Combat controllers are trained special operators and certified Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers. They deploy undetected into combat and hostile environments to establish assault zones or airfields and then provide air traffic control and fire support in the joint arena. As the only air liaison for special forces units on the ground, combat controllers are relied on by their teammates. In turn, they rely upon air assets to deliver when called. (U.S. Air Force photo)
