When Red Flag kicks off at Nellis, the work- load intensifies. The increase of air traffic can be challenging for ATC specialists at the NATCF; they use a team concept to ensure flight safety in and out of the Nevada Test and Training Range.
“During Red Flag, [day and night] missions are back to back, causing us to work almost nonstop,” said Senior Airman Orion Furber, 57th OSS air traffic controller. “Even though it’s a lot more work, the exercise allows us to hone our skills and experience wartime training.”
More than 70 ATC specialists work by pro- viding voice instruction over radio to ensure safe airways.
“Throughout Red Flag, controllers are able to gain experience working with foreign allied forces,” said Tech. Sgt. Amy Gardner, 57th OSS assistant chief controller. “These scenarios teach them how to handle language barriers by slowing down their rate of speech and com- municating appropriately with allied air forces.
Through attention to detail, ATC specialists are able to promote combat air force lethality by utilizing their training in quick decision making to guide aircraft where they need to go during the Red Flag training scenarios.
“I love working with the aircraft,” said Furb- er. “I’m proud to be a controller, and I think our mission here at Nellis and with Red Flag really helps the overall U.S. Air Force mission.”
Red Flag 18-3 concluded Aug. 3.
