Army Air Traffic Control

Army Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a specialized service within the military that manages the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the airspace and on the ground. ATC personnel communicate with pilots using radar and radio to provide instructions, such as takeoff and landing sequences, traffic separation, and emergency support. They ensure that military aircraft operate safely, particularly in combat or challenging environments. Their role is critical for mission success and includes coordinating with other military operations, making timely decisions, and maintaining situational awareness to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations within busy airspaces.
