Special Operations Combat Controllers Explained - What is a CCT?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2019
- CCTs are the only SOF career field which bring the Air Traffic Control (ATC) capability. Their motto is “First There.”
This video is a part of the “What is” / “Explainer” playlist for Special Operations units. I plan to highlight essential pieces of Unclassified information about the most important Units within the Special Operations community. My goal is to make each video plus or minus 3 minutes.

These guys literally do EVERYTHING every other branch does. They have to be able to drop into any situation under US SOCOM. They are absolutely insane.
Little story for you...compromised position of a 3 man patrol...me and the other guy are laying down fire...CCT is trying to call in Tac Air and is reloading mags for us...our shit is looking weak...we know as soon as the sun comes up we are done for cause there are a shit ton of them...CCT guy is calm...talking to pilots like he is talking to his mom...loading mags, racking us on the head and handing them to us...sky is just starting to have a hint of light and he yells..."breakfast is here boys!!"...and has the biggest shit eating grin I have ever seen as he pops a smoke...we are like WTF? has he gone batshit crazy on us? That's when we hear a sound what I still consider the sweetest sound in the world....the chainsaw burp of A-10's coming in right off the deck....they cleaned house...I mean turned the ground to hamburger....we broke contact and were picked up...it's been along time but every sunrise my mind goes back to that moment...best and worst days of my life and I wouldn't trade them for anything. CCT's are the best...and Joe B., you were/are the best of the best my friend.
Thats fuckin awesome!
And that’s why I’m choosing CCT as my career.
do cct ever get into firefights themselves?I know that not their roll exactly but are there situations where it happens anyway?
When I was a CCT we had Blue berets...it was 1968 and we were still developing our craft
Toophless One Thank you for your service!

@@BillyN31 how do you know?
DuhWeck Derek look it up. It’s easy
@@BillyN31 actually no hes telling the truth as they switched to the famous red beret during the mid 70s and originally wore a blue beret.
My brother is a cct and is currently deployed. He’s done tours in Latin America Europe, the Middle East , and Asia . Don’t know where he is now but I’m really proud of him. There unique because they can operate in teams or attach themselves to other sof units like delta, DEVGRU, and ranger recon. Combat controllers are really special because In my brothers words, they’re operator “nomads” meaning on one deployment their with a delta or cag deep in isis territory and in another deployment they could be aiding DEVGRU in a mission in Bolivia. They train constantly. A lot of this training goes towards the fact that before deployments they learn the tendencies and culture of the units that they are going to deploy with. One of my brothers missions was counter insurgency against drug traffickers and drug lords all over Latin America. When sof deploys on these kinds of missions they deploy in plain or civilian clothing- even posing as local police, or military as to not raise suspicion. In my brothers case, in that deployment he went in plain clothes and even posed as a fake cartel in one op. The show seal team does a great job with the details and portrays sof units in the most accurate way I have seen in a tv show. The character Trent is a Cct medic and engineer impeded with DEVGRU in that show. My brother is a radar specialist. I’m pretty sure he’s trained in what Trent does from seal team too but I’m not certain. As he doesn’t tell me much. But what he does tell me I cherish and share because things don’t last forever and heroes deserve to be remembered!
Ranger recon ? and he must be tier 1 then if he’s going with devgru and delta
@@angeloescobar7617Special Tactics which all CCTs are apart of is Tier 1
@@davidhawkins1527 no its not, only the 24th special tactics squadron is tier 1
@@yoyofalcon4216 and some CCTs are part of the 24th STS
Hate to be that guy, but the pipeline is different now. There’s now Special Warfare Prep, then A&S, then Pre-Scuba and Combat Diver, then PJs, SOWTs, and CCTs separate and go to their specific schools for their field.
Give examples for the schools?
Combat control operators course (Air traffic control, CAS, etc.), basic Airborne school, SERE, Combat Control Apprentice course (final cut for your beret), then HALO and whatever additional training they decide you need to be attached to a team. Not necessarily in the exact order I wrote it because I’m not sure how much they’ve reorganized. This change is pretty recent
@@ChezProductions7849
So you still have to attend all the schools?
Abba Okoro Are you serious buddy?

Leaving with this path in mind. Hell yes thank you!
Please do 75th Ranger Regiment.
Edit: He did it.
Thanks for the help I’m considering becoming a CCT and this gave me a little more insight. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good to go ..another top notch breakdown. I had the pleasure of working with these men in my teams.. tip of the spear.

Thank you so much for doing this video cause this one of my jobs I want when I join the Air Force. As always great video's brotha
This guys are badass.
Great video sir. Thank you for showcasing AFSOC👍🏽🇺🇸
Love the channel and video like all ways keep it up bro
It's good to hear from you
Awesome video thanks for uploading these vary informative. Just a suggestion but a video on becoming a S.E.R.E specialist would be pretty cool too.
Great info, and delivery. Thanks.
A video on the 75th Rangers would be awesome. Love the vids, thanks!
He has one
@@hunterdude2806 ok and what is it called because i dont see shit
hunterdude280
He has one on ranger school. That’s not the same as ranger regiment.
Thank you so much for posting this
I wish I can meet one of y'all guys . Chapman is my hero.
When I fill bad I wash that vido of him . I wish he was alive.
Thank you Chapman for everything we need more men like him to talk care of us .
Airfare all the way .
These videos are just awesome!
And Texh Sgt John Chapman was awarded the CMH posthumously for actions in Afghanistan
I think what he did, rushing leaving his team behind is not a good tactic which actually endangers his team mates that must follow him. He was just lucky he was able to capture the first bunker.
@@bonofarm Nobody cares what you think
@@austin-ms1ho yeah you do, dont be shy
Yeah thats what got me here but I don't understand why they he would imbed with seals
Met a couple of these guys currently in airborne school in the army there still in training after we’re done with airborne there going to sera but god damn these guys are strong and fast and highly motivated
I watch these to hear about your interactions with the various representatives of each career field. I realize you wouldn't have worked with them, at least not given their current AFSC, but a video about SR (Special Recon) USAF would be great (plus if you ever ran into any SOWT guys). Thanks!
Good summary. DOL
Love your content bro
AMAZING!
I’ve bin waiting for this video to come out, it’s my dream to become a CCT one day
Same bro
See u there
Same, see ya basic
Something I realized is that combat controllers seem to be grossly underrepresented in movie depictions of military operations. When I read books or accounts of those same operations, the combat controllers are always mentioned, but the movie versions almost never seem to include them (granted, I could be mistaken as I was never in the military and might not recognize the uniform or badges if they were included).
gutspraygore if you want to see a CCT operator in a movie watch the early transformers movies haha. But in all seriousness you are right, the reason is that the CCT community is very strict on the information that gets out. They have made it taboo to talk about anything they do in their career field. But if you want to know some of the things they’ve done read no room for error. They have an interesting history, they helped Delta Force become the army’s special mission unit and were liked by Deltas founder so much they always had a Controller on their ops. As for why you don’t see them much is because they tend to wear gear similar to the unit they’re attached to so they don’t stand out to the enemy, but generally they have a CCT patch on the shoulder for easy identification in the field and a big antenna sticking out their back.
If you watch the film We Were Soldiers that stars Mel Gibson and takes place during one of the first battles of the Vietnam War, there 2 scenes with a CCT. SPOILER ALERT
Mel Gibson's character Col Hal Moore tells his CCT that their position is about to be overrun and orders him to call "Broken Arrow", in which all available aircraft would attack positions around the unit. The CCT in another scene calls some air strikes very close to their position but one aircraft gets a little too close to their mortar position and releases napalm before hearing his call to waive off. Unfortunately the bombs hit the US mortar crew and Col Moore tells the CCT to "shake off" the friendly fire incident from his mind and keep bring in air support as it is what's keeping them all alive.
Have you seen Transformers? Yea, I know.. MAH BOO BLAY SPLOSHUNS!!! but the SOF team on the ground has a CCT(Tyrese Gibson lol) and he wears the scarlet beret throughout the series of moveis
i love these vids. I know this is a military based channel but do you have any plans to do executive summaries for special law enforcement units? (i.e. FBI HRT, BORTAC, etc) Just curious. Keep it up!
It would be great to see a video on recon or anglico
Can you make more videos on SEALs! love the channel from Canada!
Luv ur vids sir
Thank you
I would like to see a video about USMC Anglico that has a similar mission directing air, artillery and naval gunfire I enjoy your videos, thanks for your service!
Not even close to similar. ANGLICO can’t call in air strikes they have to go to JTAC school. They are similar to army fisters if anything because most only call artillery now a days.
Could you do a video on US Army Sapper school?
R.I.P Sgt. Jeff Bray 💙
CAP Talk I was on a team at Pope with Jeff. Good fellow
Great video pleas do SWCC
Could you make a video on west point?
Will you make a video which breaks down the 5 Paragraph Order?
Can you do Special Operations Forces videos on the following five units?
-Regimental Reconnaissance Company
-Delta Force
-SEAL Team Six
-Force Reconnaissance
-Scout Snipers
The range of skills they must be proficient at place them on top of other Special Forces within USSOCOM. This is the impression I get away with. Yeah, I know., this is not a competion amongst Special Forces branches and all of them are meant to work in unison to get the job done but upon the exposed in the video they seem to be pretty essential and pivotal in accomplishing goals in the battlefield.
I've said for a long time AF Special Ops guys are as good as any.
Victor Manuel Polanco it’s like a former Delta Force officer said “The initial training pipeline for an Air Force Special Tactics Squadron Combat Controller costs twice as much time and sweat as does the journey to become a Navy SEAL or Delta operator.
Before their training is complete someone brainwashes these guys into thinking they can climb like Spiderman, swim like Tarzan, and fly like Superman and then they have to prove they can, if they plan to graduate”.
@@xXsilentvatoXx, I take your word for it!!!!. The same impression I get away with!!!.
Jsoc not just the tip.....the whole damn spear.
Nice
age is now 17-39. Per recruiter info from last week.

Hooyah CCA#901 here
Will you do any other Special Operations Forces outside of USSOCOM?
Namely Marine Division Recon,Force Reconnaissance, other foreign special forces.
that would be awesome!
Yeah could u do Recon or Force recon
I think he served in USSOCOM which is what he is most knowledgeable on and what he feels comfortable with producing videos about.
Maybe he wants to finish USSOCOM before covering something else
Can you explain coust guard special operators
Hi can you do a video on jsoc
So in terms of the kind of work they do on the ground, what is the difference between CCT/Combat controllers and TACP/JTAC from the earlier video? Does CCT focus more on coordination of aircraft that aren’t providing fire support than TACP?
Thomas Hudson TACP’s are strictly JTACs and mainly deploy with conventional army units such as Infantry Battalions or sometimes Ranger’s, TACP’s are not special operations forces (SOF) and do not deploy with Green Berets/SEALs, etc. However, a TACP can choose to become a SOF TACP which requires additional training and selection. If they pass that they can deploy with SOF units.
CCT’s are strictly SOF and deploy either as a team of CCT’s or as an individual attached to a Green Beret/SEAL Team. A CCT’s primary job is Air Traffic Control but they can also become JTACs (which most do).
In the JTAC realm, a TACP will usually work the big picture aircraft coordination from an operations center while a CCT usually will be out in the field with other SOF teams calling in air strikes.
In your diagram, you show a Support Air Commando. What is that? I can't find any good information on this
what about special reconnaissance unit
Can you do one on EOD
Can you do something for Air Force security forces DAGRE or RAVEN, because I can’t really find any information on these careers fields but I know they exist in security force. All I know is that their kinda apart of AFSOC by assisting them in protection of assets. Do or don’t. I don’t care I love your videos and your channel
Tiyon Baret not gonna lie bro you won’t find much because they don’t do much other than sit on a plane and “protect” it. I have a friend who was in security forces and he told me it’s something you can apply for or you get sent to after a while and it’s no different than regular security forces.
Thank you
Please do Call of Duty next!
Can u plz do Marine Reconnaissance
Could you make a video about the best way to comeback from an injury I have been on profile for a year now due to a hip injury and surgery I used to be in great shape but after a year of being on a dead’s man profile it’s hard to get in shape I’m currently on a P2 that’s is still a dead mans so not breaking profile and being able to get a good workout in is very difficult I plan of getting off my P2 when ever I get back in shape but as I already said being able to do this while on a dead mans is almost impossible
could you do Delta Force? I know there the most secretive unit in the world and not recognized by US Gov. however would be cool if you could do a video on them, or maybe not because you are ex special forces.
Also thanks for these videos, im shipping out in August as 11x with airborne.
Idk man, the DIA is pretty unknown to most...
I know, you can find some info but not much at all.
frostedy0 they aren’t called delta anymore. These days it’s CAG
@@daddymcsnacks_561 Even the recruitment process is kinda weird and secretive.
@@o15523 I can only imagine how that works.
Hey, I'm a Canadian, and I want to join the Army, but, I'm a tad scared I'll just be stuck in some dead end job, and I was wondering about transfer program from Canadian to American forces. Do you have any knowledge of this?
So me and my brother were arguing he was saying that Marsoc takes control of cct/ Afsoc. I told him no they dont all of they are all part of socom. Then he said that navy seals work for marsoc and I kept telling him no. I would like to know whose right?
A high speed Forward Observer?
Fucking badass bro nice job
HooYa lightning bolt!
Al the training stuff has changed in terms of the intro stuff.
You no longer have full control over which ST position you train for, also Indoc has changed to A&S and a few other things
is it common for cct to get into firefights?
So what's the difference in a CCT and TACP?
'.Do one on USMC ANGLICO. My joke is, "We're so secret you never heard of us.".
I saw in a comment that you know 4ish languages. What is the best way you found to learn them?
Are all the CCTs nowadays JTAC qualified?
All CCTs learn Fire support during Combat Control School in Pope Field. But the JTAC school is not required, a large number of Controllers do go to JTAC school and maintain the qualification.
It sounds like these guys are like Forward Air Controllers on steroids. Is that the right way to think of them? As an former Artillery Officer I used to work with AF FAC teams when assigned as a Fire Support Officer.
robbelliii not really, I mean they do have that tool under their belt but it’s not what they do. He did over simplify it and for a good reason because their job is difficult to explain. Their bread and butter is Air traffic control but they do everything on the map. Basically they are experts when it comes to the air, they are a link to the air for ground guys. CCT operators are communication specialist that can provide CAS, artillery support, and naval gunfire. What makes them unique in the SOF community is their air traffic control qualification, they can jump into an enemy’s back yard and turn a dry lake bed, road or clearing into an air port and bring in other SOF units who they will then attach to and provide additional support for. But that’s just one of many thing they can do, their HALO and dive qualifications make them highly adaptable to missions outside their original purpose. They aren’t attached to other units only for their CAS capabilities because anyone can be trained in CAS. They are highly sought after by the other units because of their communication capabilities and what they can bring to the table skill wise.
Do a video on the 75th ranger reg pleeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee
So the diference between CCT and TACP, is the air control ? TACPs dont do it?
Till this day I don't feel its a significant difference between CCT and TacPs. I feel they both can operate in identical situations. Theres a lot of overlapping operational capabilities once you get to tier 2 and so on.
unfortunately the information in this video is outdated, entirely due to the fact that AFSOC is changing very quickly and dramatically. still a great video nonetheless.
One of the things that has changed is that the age has moved from 17(1/2) to 30, as per the video, to 17 1/2 to 39. I'm not sure as to why they increased the age limit, but that was definitely an interesting change.
My Dream was to have served as a FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AND MEU SOC MARINE, ARMY RANGER and AFSOC COMBAT CONTROLLER. Well, I did serve in both The United States Marine Corps and Army, so, 2out of 3 ain't bad!! Ooh Rah and Hooah Air Force Special Tactics Combat Controllers!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🗽🤘💪⚡💥🔥💀
Wait so if CCTs work to call in fire support, isn't that basicly just the role of a JTAC?
@Zaxdabeast G18 ah right I see, thanks for clearing that up for me mate
Whats the difference between these guys and Air Force Tac Ps or JTacs?
JTAC is the school they go through, TACP is usually attached to regular troops, whereas CCTs are attached to SOF teams
@@HurricaneHugues Thanks!
@@KINGRODP TACPs are all JTAC qualified, meaning they can call in close air support. They can also call in artillery. Usually they work with the conventional forces, especially the Army. Some TACPs can go through more training (dive school, jump school, once in a blue moon some go to sniper training, etc) to work with other special operations forces like SEALS, Rangers, Delta, AFSOC, etc.
CCTs go through a longer training pipeline as they will spend most of their time with special operations units. They all go through dive school, jump school, air traffic control, SERE, etc. Most of them are JTAC qualified to call in air support but a few aren't. They can set up a LZ, DZ, as well as creating an airfield (or capturing one to use) with their air traffic controlling abilities.
How can you confirm someone was indeed a CCT?? Have a gentleman climbing to have been a CCT for 20 years but his behavior does not reflect any type of behavior I have ever seen when working with JTAC’s and CCT have more training. SOCOM has web sit does the AIr Force a similar one to verify.
UPDATE: the Air Force does not go to Yuma proving grounds for H.A.L.O, they go somewhere else now... I appreciate these videos and I am no way criticizing, I just want you to know latest information.
Where do u get up-to-date info?
Special Tactics Combat Controller Teams ( just like their Battlefield Brothers in Tactical Air Control Party, Pararescue Jumpers, and Special Reconnaissance) are Special and Elite, Chosen and Unique, World Class Warfighters and Battlefield Badass Special Warfare Airmen are Military Air Traffic Controllers.

CCTs and TACPs seem very similar.
I wear my North Carolina shirt every day.
Pick me up 3359 e. Olympic blvd.
They are like TACP.
They are all similar?

Similar in that they deal with aircraft. Mission is totally different though.

TACP puts bombs on target. CCT controls the air space.
CCT are TACP on steroids
Never would of thought Air Force would be doing this.
