Joint Terminal Attack Controllers from 16th Field Regiment recently trained alongside members of 1 NZSAS and A-10 pilots from the United States Air Force’s 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron during an advanced training exercise in Nevada.
The focus was on using modern digital systems to improve Close Air Support – where aircraft support ground troops during combat. The goal was to boost coordination, accuracy, and the safety of both air and ground forces in live-fire scenarios. Missions tested fast targeting, safe airspace management, and the smart use of air-delivered weapons in a challenging environment.
