An Iraqi Air Force Joint Terminal Attack Controller

An Iraqi Air Force Joint Terminal Attack Controller student, calls in an air strike to an AH-64 Apache overhead during an Iraqi Forward Area Controller Course qualification in Besmayah, Iraq, March 8, 2018. The five-day event marked the first time IFACs exercised calling in airstrikes on the range and their first time calling in live fire from Coalition aircraft. The Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, in conjunction with the Coalition Aviation Advisory and Training Team, coordinated the exercise, March 4-8, to certify newly trained IFACs and demonstrate progress made since their training started in December 2017.
