Airmen, Soldiers and Marines completed two weeks of airfield training at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, learning valuable skills while highlighting the power of military interoperability. The joint training brought together the U.S. Air Force 461st Air Control Wing’s 53rd Combat Airfield Operations Squadron, Marine Air Control Squadron 2 and the Army’s Air Traffic Service Command.

The training, led by ATSCOM’s quality assurance division, centered on the 53rd CAOS’s new, deployable, Airport Surveillance Radar and Precision Approach Radar system, also known as the Air Traffic Navigation, Integration and Coordination System.

Service members were trained in setting up the ATNAVICS version 10 radar, operations shelter and lighting systems that are used to create runways in austere and deployed environments. The air traffic controllers also took turns practicing precision approaches and landings.
