U.S. and German air support squadrons
conduct joint-exercise involving A-10C Thunderbolts IIs and F-16
Fighting Falcon for Close Air Support (CAS) training at Camp
Grayling, Michigan. Ground-based Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) are the direct voice between
the ground and air support, requiring deliberate, precise and timely
decision-making. Exercises like this further the interoperability of
coalition forces and better the communication and combat efforts of
U.S. and foreign fighting forces.
Camp Grayling is the main training facility
for the Michigan Army and Air National Guard. With 147,000 acres
spanning three counties, it is the largest National Guard training
facility in the country.
