An Italian Air Force Joint Terminal Air Controller calls in simulated airstrikes on a mock target during Distant Frontier July 2, 2010, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The exercise is a joint combat training exercise that is essential to the success of air and ground operations. The JTAC is in constant communication with pilots identifying, marking, and later confirming successful hits. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Willard E. Grande II)
