The combat control group of the US Air Force has experienced actual combat.

After the Vietnam War broke out in an all-round way, CCT undertook the task of guiding the conventional forces and special forces (two of them were responsible for air traffic control and one was responsible for radio equipment maintenance). They used the frequency conversion communication device for the first time and used the frequency band agreed with the helicopter pilot in advance to solve the communication delay problem. 1983 the invasion of grenada operation made CCT a key force in the U.S. special operations overnight. At that time, the commandos were responsible for seizing the airstrip in Grenada. CCT members risked their lives. First, they set up a temporary air control system to guide the air rangers through early warning aircraft and radar to protect them from ground air defense fire. Then, in order to quickly turn the occupied airport into a rear base, they once again used excellent radio communication technology to guide the transport plane to transport the follow-up troops to the airport smoothly, and at the same time deployed air force fighters to several nearby action sites. They also guided the SEALs to complete the coastal deployment in extreme weather conditions.

During the invasion of Panama by 1989, the status of CCT suddenly rose. They first arrived near the two target airports by helicopter, used communication equipment to guide the rangers to occupy them, and at the same time commanded the AC- 130 gunboats in the air to attack the ground targets, providing cover for the rangers. In addition, they also undertake the aviation management of the entire airborne area, and contact helicopters in nearby airspace to transport and transport the wounded when there are wounded. In this action, CCT has become mature and perfect.

During the Gulf War, CCT, as the coordinator of conventional forces, was stationed in the liaison forces for a long time. They are divided into three parts: one is responsible for managing local military airports and temporary landing sites; Part of it is responsible for the liaison and information exchange between the ground forces and the air force during deployment and propulsion; Some also provide tactical communication support for independent reconnaissance and search and rescue operations of special forces units. In addition, CCT also undertook a top secret task-going to Iraq to destroy Iraq's command and control system. 1993 10 3. The action in Mogadishu, Somalia made CCT famous again. In the arrest operation in the afternoon, they first used the extremely accurate navigation technology to guide the small helicopter carrying the army special forces to the vicinity of the target building, and other helicopters were deployed to the entire target airspace in an orderly manner, forming a strict firepower network; At the same time, report the defense status of the rangers to the air force pilots so that the rangers can get air fire support for the first time. After the Black Hawk helicopter was shot down, they divided into two groups. One group is responsible for guiding helicopters and rangers to the crash site, and the other group continues to guide the convoy to transfer prisoners outside the target building. After nightfall, in order to protect their comrades-in-arms, CCT members guided light armed helicopters to shoot Somali militia hiding in their homes at close range.

After the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began, CCT entered a new stage of action. They split up, do as the Romans do, and use traditional animal transport to enter the mountainous area.

CCT members search for "Al Qaeda" terrorist organizations by controlling the aircraft area in the nearby airspace through satellite phones, and under the guidance of advanced unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, they detect and understand the regional situation, provide information for special forces performing ground search, and also use laser positioning devices and computer navigation devices to guide pilots to attack valuable ground targets.
