The Air and Ground Cavalry School is proud to announce that we will be conducting the Forward Air Controller Course for up to 8 highly motivated individuals. This course is focused on the basics of how to plan and execute close air support (CAS) as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) in field operations.
The course consists of 2 parts; An Instructional phase which is the course date shown here lasting approximately 3hrs, and then an Evaluation on a seperate day lasting roughly an Hour to an Hour and a Half. The Evaluation is booked on a one by one basis using this Form and typing "EVAL" after your name or alternatively sending a Forum PM to the FAC Lead Instructor. To receive the FAC Badge and Qualification you must pass the Evaluation.
