Stories of Service: TACP turning the tide of battle
Maj. Gen. Vincent Becklund, deputy commander of Air Force Special Operations Command, and Tech. Sgt. Cam Kelsch, a Special Tactics Tactical Air Control Party operator with the 17th Special Tactics Squadron, listen to remarks during a Silver Star Medal presentation ceremony at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, Pooler, Ga., April 9, 2019. Kelsch is credited with repeatedly exposing himself to enemy fire to save the life of a wounded teammate and controlling precision strike munitions from aircraft to secure the safety of his joint and partner force members while deployed with the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s 75th Ranger Regiment battalion to Afghanistan in 2018.
