German Air-Ground Operations School Commander Confirmed to Present at Close Air Support Conference this June

IN RECENT NEWS: NATO partners conduct close air support exercise “Members of the German Air Force’s Air Ground Operations Squadron partnered with the 19th Air Support Operations Squadron to conduct a close air support exercise, April 10 to 14 at Camp Grayling, Mich.

“NATO is fighting together as a coalition,” said Major Nader Samadi, German AGOS Commander … “Nobody really knows what the JTAC is doing but everybody wants to have them,” said Samadi. “It’s really important because we don’t want civilian casualties. So NATO forces send us JTACs on site to find out the best way to conduct what we call surgical strikes, where we have civilian collateral damage concerns. It’s really important that somebody is there to liaise between the boots on the ground and the air guys.” Source: DVIDS Media April 2017*
