Elite combat control team members train at McChord AFB
An elite unit of 14 man combat control teams from the Military Air Transport Service trains for wartime missions. Teams at McChord AFB on the West Coast and Donaldson AFB on the East Coast prepare to parachute near enemy lines, set up beacons and radios, and guide assault aircraft. Candidates must be Army Jump School graduates, tower operators or radio technicians, in peak shape, and proficient in survival and map reading. Each member endures about a year and a half of qualification with over 60 pounds of gear and parachutes.
