USAF Special Tactics Teams

By Jason Porterfield

Book Overview

The Air Force's Special Tactics teams of combat controllers and pararescuers are trained for two primary battlefield missions: seizing enemy air bases and recovering injured personnel from hostile territory, often when under enemy fire, while also providing mobility, surgical-strike firepower, and air support to the U.S. Special Operations Command. This book gives readers a behind-the-scenes look into this elite Special Ops unit currently hard at work in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere throughout the world.
