I just finished Alone at Dawn, another book regarding the fight at Robert's Ridge in Afghanistan. I knew combat controllers were highly trained, I had absolutely no idea the extent of an AF CC or their capabilities. Absolutely astounding. The book does a great job explaining the history of AF CC and their training, different places they have been effective all over the globe.

Great read, and a well-deserved upgrade to Medal of Honor for John Chapman. Sorry for the thread divergence.
