After that build-up at the open, I almost pissed myself when you said Air Force. 😂
20:10 Rest Easy, Brother…😢
You know you may piss off some dependas out there saying their job isn't the toughest/ most important in the military.
In my personal experience I would say PJ'S are the absolute best of the best and the most selfless and the ones who are willing to sacrifice the most, not to get the mission done but to get the casualties home and alive. Look into them they practice saving lives on the battlefield and some of their firing stance use their own bodies as cover. I've done and seen a lot in my time. But hearing them coming in just to save a brother is one of the most badass things ever
Ever since WWI, the rest of the military is useless without air superiority.
This is cool to learn about. I am the granddaughter of a SeaBee who would go ahead and create the roads to prepare for landing areas, it makes me wonder how far ahead the Air Force Combat Controllers were.
Combat Control Operator Course is intentionally held in the most inhospitable heat and humidity anywhere in the United States, Mississippi.
Do Pararescue Jumpers!
While I was in the Air Force I was stationed at Hurlburt field Fla. Then 1st SOW, Special Operations Wing. Rubbed shoulders with Combat Controllers. Never arrogant but confident and professional in all matters. The finest people you could have ever have the honor of serving with. Yes I was there when our wing deployed for the Grenada operations. It was those same Combat Controllers I knew who participated and served so well there. We deployed our AC 130 gunships and other assets as well and supported the 82 Airborne some of which staged at Hurlburt on there way there. Yes Combat Controllers are the elite of the elite. I can't speak high enough of them.
GrenEda is in Caribbean. Granada- in Spain.
This is why America kicks ass and takes names
CCTs and PJs are my favorite special forces groups..
Afghan weddings fear them.
Obviously the biggest difference between ccts and all other special operations is that ccts dont all have publicists considering no one here knows the difference between ccts and tacps. Lol
Damn. I need to ask my dad about these guys!
Why and how do you have like 800 channels
the first recorded Medal of Honor recipient is a compact controller in Afghanistan.
Amazing content! Thank you for giving some love to these amazing warriors! 🤘🏼⚡️
Very fascinating.
do the Biafran War and more African,Asian and South American civil wars and conflicts…
I thought that MOC was being discontinued? Correct me if i am wrong.
First There Hooyah
Getting featured by the times magazines has slowly become a stripe against you tho
Dude, don't forget about PJs and SARCs.
Chapman was by far the greatest Special Operator EVER. He did more than than conventional Operators. True hero he was.
Thank you for explaining this often overlooked and unheard of job. These people deserve more recognition.
Can I get some ❤️s In the replies for our brave armed forces?!?!?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
I went to the Air Force recruiter's office when I was 21. I passed the ASVAB, and being bilingual, was given the choice of anything I wanted to be.
I said I wanted to be a Combat Controller. The Staff Sergeant was like "I really wish that wasn't the first thing you said. We can't take you for that reason."
Apparently, wanting to become a Combat Contoller right off the bat makes you too crazy for the military.
Missed opportunity to mentioning legendary James Elbert "Jake McNasty" McNiece.
No disrespect to CCP, but you might want to look at the Airforce pararescue guys before before claiming you have found the elite of the elite.

Combat Controller is probably the worst person to target in any unit right after Doc. Both excellent ways to receive some rapid unhealthcare.
Para rescue bad ass mfers airforce sf …… just saying
Oh far out, sooooo many experts ruin good videos with their hero comments. Get a life and just enjoy the videos. The boasting is seriously out of control on here.
and they're nice guys.
Love Combat Controllers they handle there stuff! Respect. Defensor Fortis 🖤💙🫡🇺🇲🇹🇹
Hey Simon, can you add 160th SOAR to your Special Operators series Please?
You should cover the Special Boat Service (SBS) arguably the best SF unit on the planet
One of the longest and hardest special operations pipe lines on earth. I am pretty sure it's the longest and it's a lot harder than people realize. It's a running joke the air force has it easy. Not those men.
THANK YOU! Imagine invading Guadalcanal with six Combat Controllers, their attendant communications / electronics gear, and the training to coordinate the air-assets.
When Air Camandoes later to be called Special Operations were created personal were recruited from TAC Combat Air Control units because we were one of the few USAF units with ground combat training, escape and evasion etc.
I was with a detachment at Ft. Bragg from a squadron at Shaw AFB In 1965 the unit moved to Eglin AFB
Lets not sleep on the pararescue folks, either. They are some hard core dudes.
I mean, i know it's just a (awesome) movie and tv show, but Jack O'Neill was pararescue, to explain why he was such a hard-charging fighter in a branch famed for being the butt of fitness and hardship jokes.
"Every special forces are the best at something" -the fat electrician
I suppose somebody had to be the best at being special forces.
