More than 200 warfighters from around the world gathered this weekend in the little-known Avon Park Military Training Complex in central Florida to combat a simulated enemy force comprised of insurgent groups, roadside bombs and hidden snipers. In order to complete their missions, teams of blended forces must use the warfighters most flexible and powerful tool: airpower. Atlantic Strike VI, a semi-annual training event sponsored by U.S. Central Command Air Forces, is aimed at preparing Joint Terminal Attack Controllers and Joint Fires Observers for urban close air support operations. For the 800 military members spread across several operating locations, including MacDill Air Force Base, Homestead Air Reserve Base and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Fla., Shaw AFB, S.C., Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C. and Robins AFB, Ga., the intense training event begins today; battles continue day and night through Nov.
