A Special Tactics combat controller with the 125th Special Tactics Squadron (STS), Oregon Air National Guard, takes down notes while developing a close air support 9-line during a training exercise in Oklahoma City, Jan. 12, 2022. The 125th STS trained with the help of members with the 137th Special Operations Wing (SOW) acting as opposition forces during scenarios that required the controllers to track their movement while coordinating a stack of aircraft that was composed of a 137th SOW MC-12W and an AC-130J Ghostrider assigned to Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico.
