Combat Control Foundation | We are First There

We Are First There in providing support to the Combat Control community. We provide care and support to our Air Force ⚔️ Special Tactics ⚡Combat Controllers, their families, ⭐ Gold Star Families and other members of the military community through our First There programs, and through partnerships with similar charitable organizations.

Combat Controllers are Air Force Special Tactics Airmen. They are ground forces operators assigned to Special Tactics Squadrons. They are highly trained special operations forces and certified FAA air traffic controllers. The mission of a combat controller is to deploy, undetected, into combat and hostile environments to establish assault zones or airfields, while simultaneously conducting air traffic control, fire support, command and control, direct action, counterterrorism, foreign internal defense, humanitarian assistance, and special reconnaissance in the joint arena.
