After establishing a runway and clearing air space, Combat Controllers (CCT) give a C-130 take off clearance while conducting Air Traffic and Control procedures during a training mission (to establish and assess an airfield) on Saturday, March 15, 2003 at an undisclosed location in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. CCT is a team of Air Force personnel organized, trained, and equipped to conduct and support Special Operations under clandestine, covert, or low visibility conditions. These teams establish and control air assault zones; assist aircraft by verbal control, positioning and operating navigation aids; conduct limited offensive, direct action and special reconnaissance operations and assist in the insertion and extraction of Special Operations Forces.
