User:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits/Air Force Combat Control Team

UNSC Air Force combat controllers are highly trained, specialized airmen assigned to special tactics teams.

Background
As successors to their 20th century counterparts, Air Force combat controller teams follow a similiar pathfinder role, while providing additional services such as fire control, air traffic control, and reconnaissance. Combat controllers are either assigned alone or alongside an ODST or SOAR team. Although they are almost always deployed covertly behind enemy lines, control teams may sometimes be part of a direct assault. When alone, combat control teams usually deploy in teams of two to three. This allows for one member to conduct the main objective (such as calling in an air strike), while the others stand gaurd or particapate in seperate objective. Combat controllers are often responsible for maintaining the safety of air space during the landing and takeoff of troop/supply carriers.

Equipment
Combat controllers typically wear the standard issue Marine BDU, but controllers deploying alongside ODSTs will use a modified version of the ODST Ballistic Battle Armour.

The M142 Assault Rifle, MA5K/A1 Carbine, and MA5C Assault Rifle serve as the main close-mid range weapons utilised by combat controllers. Modified versions of the w:c:Halo:SRS99 Special Applications serve as the main long range rifle, as well as the main magnifying device when binoculars are unavaible.
